Done

He kicked a stone, looked at his feet but her eyes, he could not meet. He had lied, he was ashamed and her, yes her, he had blamed. Actions his, consequences too, for all that he had put her through. " Enough" she said " I am done. Off you go, Have your fun," Too late he knew what a fool he'd been when he had thought her response extreme. But love can die, with mistrust, with lies and now , he cannot meet her eyes.

A powerful message, Francine. Can't blame him for leaving her. It's hard to look someone in the eyes when you've lied to them. Great writing! Hugs, Carolyn
