Thankless Marriage

She stood alone, waiting, waiting... for a promise not to be fulfilled.

He came across the square from the wrong direction, a place he should not have been.

The questions started to fly, and the hands with them.

She wanted explanations, of his lateness, his secrecy.
His avoidance started in his eyes, and finished on the tongue...
Raised voices. Hurtful speech.

Hasty steps, hurried lies.
Desperation, in the form of a wife. Grabbing after his arm, his heart.
Shrugging off accusations, and her.

Forgiveness?

I don't know how this ends....
