“Don’t tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass.”
Alexis’s boyfriend said softly as they looked up at the dark night sky.
“What does that mean ?” She asked
“I saw it in a movie once, I thought it was inspiring” He replied
Alexis giggled softly, Elijah usually wasn’t so into movies, especially remembering quotes from them, she happened to wonder why this specific quote was so special to him.
As they were walking home later that night from Alexis noticed something on Elijah’s face, tears. He was crying.
“Babe! What’s wrong?” Alexis exclaimed
He couldn’t reply, he was sobbing hysterically. Alexis quickly hugged him tight as they approached his driveway to his home. Elijah ran inside without saying another word to Alexis, this worried her because he’d never not say goodbye.
Later that night, around 2:00 AM, Alexis was home in her bed about to fall asleep as she received a phone call. She picked up her phone, it was Elijah. She saw his name and contact picture glow on her screen as her eyes strained looking at her bright phone screen, she just hoped he was ok. She picked up the phone and softly said “Hello”, he didn’t reply for a few seconds until he did.
