Regret Eternal

The lovely mmapmaker challenged me into believing I could actually write just 100 words, so this is for her.

Glass under my feet, his presence fading. He told me he’s leaving because of what I’ve done, but I know that’s not true; it’s because of what I have not done. I should have judged him, turned him away, rejected him utterly. That was what he wanted, what he needed to justify leaving. Because leaving was what he did best. I should have remembered that. Maybe then it wouldn’t have felt as if my soul were dying, maybe then I wouldn’t have hated him. But it was far too late now; loving him was a regret I would never outlive.

Having never written a drabble, I don't know what the posting etiquette is, so suffice to say it's Highlander and Methos -- like that's a surprise :)

Later: you can find the 'sequel' here.

Thanks :) Yep, it leaves much to the reader. Though it is a specific event in the series I write, so for me, I had a very detailed vision in mind whilst I was writing.

Thanks again!
