On The Road

A listair

I drive until my eyes burn and find a motel that will allow Zeus to sleep in the room with me. It costs me three times the regular rate, but I pay it with a smile. I lie on the bed and stare at the ceiling, pain filling every corner of my battered heart and soul.

Already, I want to turn around and go back to the woman I love, but I know that I am doing what is best for her. So instead of following my heart, I stay in bed.

Skye will be fine without me.
