I woke up.
Early.
I could hear him breathing as he slept in the adjoining room.
I closed my eyes, willing myself back to sleep.
Sleep, I did, for a few more hours.
I awoke to the sound of gurgling water as it flowed through the pipes.
He was taking a shower.
I lay there, quietly, just listening. Listening to a morning ritual.
He took the keys off the hook.
He slowly closed the front door behind him.
I heard the roar of an engine.
He drove off. Off into the fresh, yet already heated, morning.
After 3 weeks and 1 day; we had our first argument as a long distant couple.

Oh the argument. The no speakies. The lack of sleep. I can feel it in these words. Hope you made up okay!
