chthonya | My, my - aren't I in a cheerful mood this week?

malfoy100's theme this week is Lucius' parents, which was the cue for waking up a dormant plot bunny of mine. I was originally planning to do this as a longer, dialogue piece to explore writing two PoVs simultaneously; I'm not sure how it works in 100 words. Feedback would be welcome. :)

Can’t Say Goodbye
She knows he won’t come.
He knows she won’t care when he does.

What holds them together, after all? A name, a home, a shared history…

She knows he worshipped Abraxas, not her. It was only natural.
He knows she loved Father more than him. It was only natural.

She knows he’s too proud to tell her his dazzling dreams.
He knows he would kneel for no one else.

She knows this shining angel by her bed will guide her home.
He knows she doesn’t see him.

A last chance.
A last breath.
A single tear.

He wipes it away.
