Love's Final Breath
·
Published 9/8/2024
CLAIRE turns and walks away. She watches JOSHUA go, her heart heavy. She takes a shuddering breath, feeling like she's drowning in the weight of their goodbye. She starts to walk away, but something stops her.
**JOSHUA**
*(voice trembling)*
So... I guess this is it?
**CLAIRE**
*(struggling to find her voice)*
No. No, I can't do this.
*She rushes forward and wraps her arms around him, holding on as if she'll never let go.*
**CLAIRE**
I love you, Joshua. I know things have been hard, but we can work through it. We can fight for us.
*JOSHUA is frozen in place, his body tense with conflicting emotions. He slowly turns to face her, his expression a mix of hope and uncertainty.*
**JOSHUA**
Are you sure? Are you sure this is what you want?
*CLAIRE nods, tears streaming down her face.*
**CLAIRE**
Yes. Yes, this is what I want.
*JOSHUA's walls crumble as he pulls CLAIRE into a desperate kiss. The world fades away as they hold onto each other like they're the only two people left in the universe.*
---
FADE OUT.
THE END.
