This was really well done, just the right amount of realism vs romance.

He puts the car in drive and pulls out of the parking lot. He has milk to pick up. It's Christmas. She doesn't love him. Someday he'll be okay with that.

Love the terseness.

Also, sob.

Poor David. :(

This was beautifully written and believable. The last few paragraphs broke my heart a little.

Ouch. Amazing stuff. You really got a good grip on the headspace of someone in the midst of a massive heartbreak that they can't really talk about.

Thank you so much!! I'm so glad the internal stuff worked, you have no idea.

::sniff:: This was sad and gorgeous and feels very real. You nailed the characterizations. Not easy with RPF. Great job. Great story!

That was really sad, love. I don't know any of them and my heart breaks for David :(

Really sad from you is a tremendous compliment, my dear. Given that it's you. Thank you!
