Forever and Always

The letter was still on the table, unopened, as it had been for three days.
It was the kind of night when secrets refused to stay buried.
The sword was heavier than she expected, but she did not lower it.
The morning light filtered through the curtains, painting the room in soft gold.

She smiled, but it did not reach her eyes.
The train pulled out of the station with a long, mournful whistle.
She had not expected to see him again, not after all these years.
The end.
