Chapter Text
She looked down feeling a lump of dread form in her throat as she watched the woman, who had been her confidant for the past 4 years, set down the paperwork on the desk. A silent sob threatening to burst free past her sealed lips, unshed tears gathering in her eyes.
"This is it isn't it," she thought to herself as she looked at the other woman who stood before her looking as beautiful as ever, but, donning a look of grim determination instead of the smiling face she had once sworn she would kiss forever. Those eyes, that mouth, that face of the one she loved and swore she could recall with her eyes shut now looking like that of a stranger.
Gathering the remaining courage within herself she signed the document. Feeling her strength drain away as she did so. Her heart crying out in agony as the woman she loved still, the woman who loved her no longer, picked up the papers.
She watched her walk to the door before she could no longer hold her silence.
"I love you." She called her voice coming out strong and steady despite feeling like it should come out chocked and garbled. The other stalled at the door and turned soft, sad, aged grey eyes at her a look of sad pity in her expression as she looked.
" I know, I'm sorry it came to this." With that her love turned away and opened the door pausing at the doorway without looking back she said," I did love you, and a part of me still does just, not in the way you want. Our love wasn't one made to last. You deserve love and happiness. I hope one day you find someone who can give you that and more. I'm sorry it turns out it wasn't me. Goodbye, Kara, have a good life you deserve one."
With that the woman she had made an oath to spend the rest of her life with walked out of her life. They say the grass is greener on the other side. Well, at this moment her life is a roiling thunderstorm of emotions. That's alright though, because apparently, they say the grass gets greener.
