Day 74.

Another drink to think. He saw himself back then. He saw her sitting across the table. She always sat facing the door in the off chance that a celebrity might walk in. Unlikely, but that was her thing. He asked her about her day, and she told him stories that made him laugh. He realized what a smart young woman she was. It was only a matter of minutes before he wound break her heart. He wouldn't be able to explain why, she wouldn't understand. He just wanted to make their last moments special. That's why he took her to her favorite restaurant, let her sit in her favorite seat, ordered her favorite meal, her favorite dessert. It was all about her that night. The smile on her face was his greatest joy and greatest sadness. He knew he would never see it again.  He knew that he would be the one to destroy it.
