Ted stood alone on the empty bridge looking down at the churning river below. Had it really come to this. An extreme measure, no? Breakups are hard. But this was so final. No coming back from a plunge like this. He could no longer live in a world with her in it. It was as simple as that.
She had been with him for almost seven years. Every waking minute. Every meal. He couldn’t take his eyes off her.
She woke him in the morning. He drifted off each night holding her.
But she had an answer for everything. Knew it all.
Demanded all of his time.
No more, he thought.
It was a long way down. So far down he never heard the phone splash before he walked away.
