He misses her most at night.

During the day he has things to do, places to be. At night he sits on the fire escape and watches the stars arc above, diamond pinpricks in velvety black. She used to complain that she could never see enough of them, drowned by the city lights. He misses her voice.

It's not a pain, precisely, it's more like an ache, or a hole, a little emptiness where she was. He knows it'll ease in time.

He knows it'll never really go away.

He presses a hand to his heart, and watches the stars.

Heartbreaking. You can feel the hole that Olivia's left behind, reading this. Even though I know they make it out OK, it's still sad to read. Good job!

Thank you! That was precisely what I was going for; I actually almost titled this "the spaces between my fingers are right where yours fit perfectly" but that was too long.

*repairs your heart* I promise she comes back and they make it okay and they have three adorable daughters and are so cute together they make people around them spontaneously develop cavities. I PROMISE.

<3 Thank you.
