I hugged Penny and Brian extra tight before we left for the hotel. Aiden held my hand and occasionally kissed it the whole way there. We got to the hotel room and I excused myself to shower. Aiden tried to shower with me, but I declined, wanting privacy.
I came out wrapped in a towel. He gazed at me, eyes darkening with lust, before hurriedly heading to shower himself. I could tell from his expression that he wouldn’t be in there long. I got out the hotel notepad and wrote a quick message. I folded my wedding dress on the bed, placing the note on top. I slipped on sweatpants and a hoodie. I could hear the water being turned off. I knew I didn’t have much time. A marriage had to be built on trust, and I couldn’t trust him. If he thought that he was right, he felt no compunction about lying or manipulating those around him to make the choices that he deemed correct. I opened the window and flew out into the night.
Aiden stepped out of the shower and opened the bathroom door. It was quiet. Too quiet. The hotel room was empty, a cool wind blowing in through the open window. He saw her dress on the bed and the note on top and he knew without reading it what it would say. He found himself walking over to the bed and picking up the paper, just to see what her handwriting looked like. The note was shorter than he expected. Just one word actually;
Goodbye.
He smiled. If she thought this was goodbye, she had another thing coming.
