Ten Degrees of Separation – (Chapter: Chapter: The (Fe)Male Gaze or Recasting the Primal Scene, Redux; Part 5: The Cant of the Key of Blue)
Kim took a moment to consider the question, then shook her head rapidly. "No… I mean… Abby… there’s still so many things… I don’t know that we could ever…." Shaking her head again. "So much is standing between us."
"But that’s where you’re headed, right?"
"You’re one of those things, Abby."
The quiet sentence stopped her cold, and she looked at Kim with a questioning glance.
"I didn’t expect you to happen to me," she confessed. "And I don’t know…" An exhausted sigh. "I thought I knew what I wanted from you."
"And now?"
A weary hand ran through the blonde mane as she finished the disentanglement that Abby had begun. Pacing a few steps away, Kim crossed her arms and turned to face her lover once more. "Now I don’t know anything, really, except that I’m hurting people I care about left and right… and out of all of them, you’re the last person I want to do that to."
"Then don’t," Abby whispered.
"I just wanted to not hurt so much, and you…" As if in explanation.
"Not hurting is a good thing."
"Not at the cost of the look on your face right now," Kim replied somberly.
"And what does that look say?"
"It says, Please don’t break my heart."
The sting of water and salt and air bit into Abby’s eyes, and she angrily blinked them back– even as she saw the reflection of the same in Kim’s blue irises. "That’s a pretty definitive diagnosis, Doctor," she managed wryly. "What makes you so sure?"
"Because a part of mine is breaking right now too."
This time nothing short of plucking her corneas from their sockets could have stopped the tears from flowing. Abby turned her back on her lover, dashing a hand across her face. "Jesus, Kim, don’t do this to me. Don’t make me cry in front of you."
The air stirred, thickened and moved– the warm wrap of Kim’s arms around her from behind shattered the frigid chill that encased her, the hot splash of the blonde’s own tears steaming across her neck and shoulders. "I’m sorry," she murmured, her lips ghosting kisses over Abby’s hair and face. "I’m so sorry…"

My heart is in my throat…tears are running down my cheeks. This was incredible. Oh my God, my heart literally hurts! Wow!! Bravo…you really got this right. Funny, I knew it had to end this way, but I am still aching over what Abby is feeling. She may not be sorry, but that doesn’t make the pain any less. Thank you for writing this incredible story. It is one I will go back and read again.

Thank you so much for this story….I love how you write and you capture the complexities of connection and love and need and desire and so many other things in such a unique way.I too knew it had to end this way but the heartache I felt was unbearable, perhaps because it feels like you truly captured Abbys character……I am thinking of that quote, people come into our lives for a reason, a season or a lifetime and the hope was for these two that maybe it could be a lifetime when in fact it was for a reason. What wonderful hearts you gave them.

Wow!!! That story was powerful, wonderous and painful all at the same time. You did an excellent job of convey all the mixed emotions that all these characters had… and the pain of unrequited love from some many perspectives.. but all with the same result. Don’t let this be the end of your writings. Keep more coming. Thanks.
