Like a woman scorned

She didn't wait long, much to her surprise. His monochromatic shadow would appear before her, her name falling softly from his lips. A hole had opened up between them, driving them both apart, in separate directions. But it never should have been that way. He never should have allowed it, or rather, caused it.
