My toes curled against the edge. My arms trembled.
One breath. That's all it would take.
I closed my eyes and saw her face. Not the woman she was—but the woman I believed in. Her smile. Her warmth.

All lies.
The wind roared louder, as if urging me on. My chest rose and fell, and then… I leaned forward.
Gravity seized me like a greedy hand. The ground rushed upward, a blur of neon and shadows. Time stretched, each heartbeat an eternity.
And in those final moments, as the air tore at my skin,
I thought: At last. It's over.
