She sat there for a long time.
Long enough to wish that she’d though to bring her jacket.
Just as she was about to give in and sneak inside to warm up,
a body planted itself next to her on the fence.
She knew it was him, but he didn’t say anything.
He just sat a few feet away, staring into the distance.
They sat there, silent, as the minutes passed with an excruciating slowness.
He broke the silence, his words cutting through the black.
She just nodded, not thinking to wonder if he could see the movement.
She wasn’t sure her voice would work.
They walked to the car.
He opened the door and she slipped into the passenger seat,
glancing back at the house that blazed with light.
The door slammed shut.
