"Stay," she said, but knew that her plea would fall onto deaf ears. Her eyes wide with earnest, she stared into their soul willing that the answer she wanted, a simple yes, would cross their lips. Her chest rose as she took an anxious breath in, and out of nervous habit she chewed her lower lip.
She fully comprehended the selfishness behind her request, but as she teetered precariously between hope and heartache the decision to "speak her mind" took control.
The silence that filled her ears spoke volumes and in that moment she knew... the decision was made and life as she knew it would never be the same.
