She woke up early the next morning, him lying beside her, fast asleep. She raised herself from the bed and looked over to the bedside table. There was her half-heart necklace that Deniz gave her, lying next to his alarm clock. She touched the silver with her gentle fingers. But the necklace that once carried so much meaning, turned into cold metal at her touch.

Getting up from the bed, she grabbed a cigarette and a lighter, which lay next to the necklace. She opened the window and let the cold winter air devour her naked body. It didn't bother her though. She lit her cigarette and let her mind wonder, thoughts mixing with the white smoke.
