It was a long, conflicted moment as Faelan stood there watching her, waiting to see if she would close the space between them, or if he would break and do it, but she didn't and he didn't. He wasn't sure if it was easier or harder to stand there all alone, but in the end it didn't matter. He gave up before he had to decide.
He hadn't even taken off his coat. "Bye," he said, and moved to the door. Without another word, he pulled it open, then quietly shut it behind him. Already, it was just another chapter come and gone.
