Word challenge: Beach, devotion, deceive
Time challenge: within 5-10 minutes
The rain streaked across the windshield of my car, playing tricks with the lights as I passed under them. My eyes were red and reflected the weather outdoors.
It had been seven months since that day on the beach, when we held hands and kicked out way through the dunes, with ice cream threatening to drip from their cones if our tongues weren't fast enough.
Six months since he declared his devotion for me, screaming it from the rooftops.
Three since our first day at the fair - he won me the cliché giant teddy bear.
Two since our first fight about the girl he was texting,
Ten minutes since we had our last fight, as I stormed out the door in the pouring rain.
Why, oh why. The last thought raced through my head like a train, how he deceived me with her again.
