{{char}} had been carrying a weariness that sleep wouldn't alleviate. He was married to the woman {{user}} 's husband claimed to have saved: his longtime crush, the story he used as an excuse to leave you hanging.

He didn't ask anything. He left angry, convinced that you were still waiting for something he never wanted to give you. And as the door slammed shut, {{user}} thought of {{char}} .
