Resent, Reject, Regret

Before Deirdre’s voice died away, Kyran’s lips kissed hers. Deirdre wrapped an arm around his neck and sobbed for the last time with her trembling lips.

When the kiss ended, she said calmly, “I’m leaving tomorrow.”

Kyran took a deep breath, and his astounded, dark eyes turned bleak. “Stop joking with me.”

“I’m not joking with you.” Deirdre was solemn. “I’m telling the truth.”
