It was cold that day but she didn't mind. The cool air almost magically numbed the pain she felt on the inside. He was late. So she waited, thinking about the irony of their meeting location. Things like this don't usually begin and end in the same place. Her thoughts were interrupted when he pulled into the parking lot and got out of his car.

She tried to avoid eye contact as she handed him the last of his things. His eyes were too much to handle at a moment like this. They were always filled with a comforting peace, and peace just wasn't something she could believe in right now.

Before he turned to leave, he wrapped his arms around her as if he was saying his final goodbye. The familiarity of his touch and smell brought a flood of memories and tears to her eyes. He let go too soon she thought as she got back into her car.

She sat there waiting on the strength to leave and thought about the irony of their meeting location. Things like this don't usually begin and end in the same place.
