I'm just gonna free-write. It has nothing to do with my life...just for fun. ^_^

I hadn't met her that long ago but we seemed to have much in common, that's why we sat in this dark little coffee house. 

"We were extravagantly in love," She sighed romantically. "And we still are."

"Then what happened?" I asked.

"It just didn't work out." She said taking a long draw from her coffee. I knew that when she said 'it just didn't work out', it really meant that she had been dumped, but her pride was too swollen to admit it.

I don't think she's a liar per say, but she didn't like to bring people down. If she had to make a few white lies to make someone happy, so be it. She'd do it. It's a blessing and a sin at the same time.

She wasn't very pretty I'll admit. Her brown eyes matched her stringy brown hair that went to about her cheek bones. Her teeth weren't well kept, but when she spoke, she sounded like an angel.

"So, what do you plan to do when you get out of college?" She asked.

"I'd like to travel."

"Are you going to work?"

"I should, but I'm not sure many places would hire a foreigner."

She smiled weakly. "It never hurts to try." I knew that meant that she thought I was probably right.

We sat in silence for a few minutes. "I can't take it anymore." She said softly. Tears filled her eyes. "Not everything is perfect...even though I pretend it is. Can I tell you...the truth?"

"For you, I have all the time in the world."

Everything came rushing forward. About how her lover had indeed left her after he beat her... and how she was afraid to tell him that the baby they had conceived was to be born in 5 months time. I looked at her and saw that she was...

...Beautiful.
