We sat and ate a lot of meals here over the last week. I think the table is from Sainsburys. Kevin lent us the green Chair.

“Don’t go,” the woman said.
“I feel that I have to,” the man said.
“But I’ve got no one else,” she said, “Think about what’s going to happen to me.”
“I don’t know. But you’re woman now. I can’t stay around here,” he said.
On the coffee table were two cups that had coffee which had gone lukewarm and acidic while they sat and talked. It was winter and the man wore a large flannel around his shoulders. The woman sat across from him wrapped up in blankets. In between was a bag full of the the man’s clothes and belongings.
“Why?” the woman asked. Her fingers gripped the end of the arm rest of the sofa as she waited for the response. The man leaned back into the cushion of the sofa and pulled his hands upwards, from his knee to his thighs, both of his feet were firm on the ground.
“Is it her? That woman who keeps trying to reach you? Just tell me. It’s okay. I don’t care about that anymore. Just give me a reason. You owe me this, I deserve better. One damn reason,” she said. She had raised her voice and spoke very fast.
The man leaned forward and put his face in his hands. After a few seconds, he looked back up and stared vacantly on the contents of the table in front of him: two tea cups on saucers, a kettle, a note pad, the telephone. The room was silent except for the rain which struck the roof and the gentle hum of the light above them.
“After all these years, you’re still holing on that,” the man said, “You don’t understand at all. That was years ago and she’s long dead. I had already forgotten.”
“Then tell me,” the woman said.
“You….you’re wonderful, who you are. But this is it for me. What you see right here, this is it. There’s nothing more. And I don’t think I want anything more.”
“But you’re not like that. I know you’re like that. When I first met you, you were –”
“No. This is it. I’m not sure of anything anymore. But I know that this is it. I can’t stay here anymore.”
The man finished the lukewarm and bitter coffee. “You don’t need me for what you have.” He got up and walked to the window. His breath fogged a section of the glass pane and he wiped it clear with the back of his fingers. It left small streaks of droplets. “I’ll leave tomorrow when the rain lets up and they open the bridge.”
The woman who had been sitting in the chair across from the sofa as the man stood by the window, took the cups to the sink and rinsed them out. They were small white porcelain cups which they bought together at a yard sale on the first day that they moved in. The house had been completely empty and they had nothing. She had always brought them out on rainy days when she was home. “Where are you going to be staying?”
“I don’t know,” the man said.
After putting the cups away, the woman walked towards the man. She put her arms around him, clasped her fingers together around his stomach and leaned her face into the middle of his back. His shirt was warm. She had forgotten the feel of its texture on her face, it was like the inside lining of worn winter blankets. It was warm but thick enough that he couldn’t feel the drops that soaked into his back as she held him.
By morning, the rain had stopped and the water receded from the sides of the bridge. The man was gone for a few miles already and was in a small restaurant on the edge of the neighboring town. It was a clear day and from the window, he could see that the birds were returning to the river edges.
The man called the waiter over and asked him to refill his cup. “I’m sorry, but this is the last one that’s on the house. You’re going to have to pay after this,” the waiter said.
“That’s alright. This is my last and I’ll be leaving after this,” the man said as he placed two quarters onto the counter. The waiter took the coins and dropped them into the front pocket of his apron and poured the man another cup.”
“Where are you headed?” the waiter asked.
“How do you know I’m headed anywhere?” the man said.
“Well, we don’t get to many locals in a place like this. Everyone who comes in is either going somewhere or on their way back from somewhere. So I figured you were the same. Sorry if I was wrong, but if you’re from around here, I haven’t seen you around.”
“I’m going to Blue Ridge Mountains.”
“That’s quite a drive. I’ve been there once. My dad and brother and I camped there when I was a kid. If I remember, it’s more than just a day’s drive and goes all the way to Pennsylvania.”
“I think I’ve got some time,” the man said. “Well, I’ll be going now. Thanks.” He stood up and pair for the rest of his meal.
“Sure thing. You take care.”
The man drove slowly through the town. It was a Saturday and people were sleeping still. Occasionally there were small lights through the windows or the lonely car on their way to way to somewhere just likes him. He thought about turning back home where she was. He thought about her lying in bed by herself. He thought about it hard until he couldn’t see the road anymore. So he sped up until he reached the morning highway and he could again.
