Separate Ways

Kirja's eyes are tearing, but she does not want to cry. She does not want that to be how Colby remembers her. 

They walk on the soft sand in silence with the soothing sound of the waves nearby. Part of her does not want to say goodbye to him, but she mostly does not know how to say it.

"I gave the map to Siv." She blurts out.

"Ah, great." Is all Colby utters. He is looking down at the sand while walking.

Kirja sighs.

"Well, I think it is time." They both come to a halt. Colby looks into her eyes. "There is no reason to drag this." She turns to walk away from him but he grabs her wrist.
