May 2: Abrupt

For the daily prompt:

She came to an abrupt halt

When she saw his familiar face

It was one that stood out

Her heart increased its pace

 

He stood gazing at the portraits

In the gallery like so many others

She wondered what he was thinking

Her heart still fluttered

 

Should she walk up to him

And confess all her feelings?

What if he rejected her again?

The mere thought of it was chilling

 

But if she let this chance go

She knew she would regret

Making up her mind

She took a long, deep breath

 

She slowly started walking

In his general direction

He was at the next portrait now

Frowning with speculation

 

Leaning in to see the details

His arms unfolded by his sides

That’s when she saw the glint

And stopped short, eyes wide

 

For a moment she didn’t believe

That it was his left hand and ring finger

They broke up just weeks ago

And so soon he had forgotten her

 

She felt the pang inside her

And in that moment she knew

Her baby was better off without him

It would just be them two
