I sat down in the chair and passed the sheet of paper across the desk to Marcus.
He sighed as he read it over. "Have you even tried talkin' to Noel?" He asked.
"Nothin' to talk about." I replied shaking my head. "He lied to me. I lied to him. Now, we're even so this is the only thing left to do."
"I just think you should-"
"I don't really care what you think, Marcus. I don't need your worldly advice. I just need you to accept my resignation."
"PRN." He suggested. "If I need you, I'll call you. And if you're available-"
"Fine." I agreed before standing up and heading for the door.
"Addie?" He stopped me as I reached for the doorknob.
"Yeah?" I looked at him curiously.
"What are you goin' to do with your sheep?"
The house was quiet when I returned. Almost silent save for a few soft sounds like Wilbur grunting and rooting around.
I went to the bedroom and straight to the closet. I opened the door and gazed inside.
All I needed to take was my clothes. That was really all that belonged to me apart from the pets.
I stepped inside and began taking things off the rack. Off the hangers, out of drawers, and into boxes and suitcases.

I got the first flight out of Heathrow. When I landed at my destination, I got a bus from there. And another bus about an hour after that.
God's little gift is on the rag
Poster girl posing in a fashion mag
Canine, feline, Jekyll and Hyde
Wear your fake fur on the inside
Queen of south beach, aging blues
Dinners at six, wear your cement shoes
I thought you were singing your heart out to me
Your lips were singing and now I see
A change
