I woke up alone.
The bed was cold. Empty. No sign she had ever been there.
Only the faint trace of her perfume lingered on the sheets, soft and familiar, like a memory that refused to leave.
I pushed myself up slowly and looked around her bedroom. Everything was in place. Clean. Untouched. Like nothing had happened.
My clothes were folded neatly on a chair.
Folded.
Not tossed aside the way we had left them.
There was a glass of water on the nightstand. And beside it, a note.
Had early meeting. Lock the door on your way out. - D
I stared at it longer than I should have.
That was all.
No explanation. No softness. No hint of what last night had been.
Just instructions.
Like I was a client.
An appointment.
Not someone she had been wrapped around hours ago.
Not
