This is a work of fantasy. It is not about real people, and if it is, its not what they would do. (not that you are likely to know them anyway). If you are under 18, go away, since I don’t like to get in trouble. If you are turned off by perversion, what are you doing at asstr? In other words, go away. If none of this applies to you, great! Read on! Have fun! Let me know what you like!
Oh, and I work hard on my writing…so guess what? It's mine. That’s right boys and girls…i'ts copyrighted…so if you want it? Just ask- we’ll talk.

Note:
This was done for Mat Twassel's "In Thoughts of You" Challenge. You can find the picture here:

Thanks for getting me off my butt, Mat.

In Thoughts of You
By Dryad
She did it.  She ran away.  She left behind all the platitudes and well-meaning friends.  Who was she? Did she know anymore? Part of her was gone.  So she ran away.  Ran away from the recent memories, back to those happier ones in the past.

This was their hideaway, where they went to escape the world.  The sunshine always seemed gold here, flooding the rooms, filling them with light.  She sat opened the shutters to gain some of that light back, before sitting in the nearest chair.  She ignored the dust covers--they didn’t matter.  It was in this room he proposed, kneeling at her feet, the pinnacle of their European tour.  For their tenth anniversary, he gave her the apartment as a present. “Now, we’ll always have our own little piece of heaven.” He’d said.  And she thanked him, her love for him overflowing, until in a rush of passion that couldn’t wait for the bedroom, and they’d made love on the window seat, bathed in golden light.  The apartment indeed became their piece of heaven, where they always went to reconnect.  She softly shook her head, and sipped the tea she had pour unconsciously.  She could feel his presence here, feel his hand come down to her shoulder, and squeeze it lightly, as he often had done when he came up behind her.  Her eyes closed softly at the sensation, could almost feel his breath against her ear, wafting her hair slightly. The teacup and saucer in her hand quivered, the rattling bringing her back to the present.

She decided.  She would sell the house.  There was no real reason to stay there after all.  The socializing had always been business, his mistress. And the house was far too large for her alone.  She would come here, stay here, stay with him. With that decided, she grew pensive, her tea grown cold, as she looked at the window, basking in the golden light.
