the ending <3
an excerpt;
Is there any hope he hasn't heard the line, 'it's not you, it's me'? She exhales. I have a professional reputation that I can't afford to lose.For a moment, she thinks she'll have to spell it out for him - men never realise the risk that women run in a relationship. But he stills, arrested, as though the thought has only just occurred to him. And I've become an unacceptable risk. I see . His lashes drop over his eyes for a moment, before they lift and what drops over him is the cool, most remote expression she's ever seen on him. I regret adding to your work, he says after a moment. I won't bother you further.
She waits until she hears the door of the safehouse close behind him, shutting her into silence and solitude before she lets out a shuddering exhale.
