11:57pm. 31st December

"I want a divorce."

4 words. 4 words I never wanted to say but I knew I'd have to eventually.

Augustine, turned away from me, freezes completely. Then, his hand shakes, and the wine glass in his hand falls to the floor, smashing, and leaving a blood red pool in its wake.

There's a deafening silence for a moment.

"What?" he finally says.

My mouth opens and closes. He turns and looks at me. I watch as the light drains from his eyes.

"Eden..." he whispers. "You don't mean it?"

I feel my vision blur with tears. "I do." I say, my voice cracking as I do.

I avert my gaze to the dropped wine on the floor. I don't want to look back up at him.

"Eden... please..." he murmurs. "Please, we can work through this!"

"We can't, Augustine." I can't look at him. I'll kill myself if I see his face now.

I mean that.

I listen to him start to take deep, breathy sobs. "Eden, I'm begging you. I need you!" I feel his presence in front of me. He grabs my arms. "I can't live without you! You complete me!"

"Augustine, please..."

"Why now?"

"New Year. Let's not start it together knowing that we can't finish it."

He buries his head into my shoulder, sobbing. I resist the urge to put my arms around him and cradle him, and go to wipe my face. Doesn't really make a difference, more salt comes to replace what I just removed.

"Augustine." I say quietly. "Please get off me now."

He nods, turning away from me again.

"I'm sorry." he says eventually, after somewhat calming himself. "For everything."

I sniff quietly. "You were the right person. Just at the wrong time."

He nods. "Maybe in another lifetime. Hm, Eden?"

I nod, laughing softly, but it develops back into tears. "God, this is the hardest fucking thing I've ever done."

Augustine nods, glancing at the clock. "It's the new year." He says quietly. I look over and see it's 00:09.

"Yeah." I reply. I look back into his eyes, and slowly open my arms. He comes over, and pulls me into a warm embrace.

"No hard feelings." He says, resting his chin on my head.

"Some sad feelings. Lots of sad feelings. I don't think I'll ever stop loving you."

He nods. "I know. Likewise. But we're soulmates, darling." He pulls away, but keeps his hands on my arms. "We'll find each other again. I know it."
