CUF: I'll just leave this here...

A story idea fragment I've had rolling around in my head for the past couple weeks...

--------------------------
...His heart still beating as his hands shaking, it took him a few seconds to realize he just saved her life. In one hand his smoking gun and in the other hand on her shoulder. He turned to look her in the eyes. She was still shaking as well. The hitman face down on the floor across the room didn't really mater anymore.

She looked him in the eyes as he leaned in for a kiss. A simple reward for saving a life was all he wanted. She turned her head away. Without a word or a sigh he understood.

He lifted his hand from her shoulder, turned, and slowly walked towards the open door from which the hitman entered. the last two sounds ever heard from him were a closing door and the sound of the last round in his gun...
--------------------------

I really want to write a story around that one scene. With better writing skills of course. because this tragedy tugs at my heart every time I think about writing it. Sad, but very possible in this day in age.

Cheers.

P.S. Happy "Completely Unrelated Friday" everyone.
