"The baby is gone, Mario. The baby has died."

Lilith sobbed hysterically as if she had just remembered that this was her child.

I watched them silently as they clung to each other and comforted one another.

Then, without a word, I turned and walked away. As I walked, I heard Mario shout from behind me, "Where’s Kelly? Where did Kelly go?"

Mario's furious voice echoed behind me. His forehead veins bulged as he clenched the crumpled sheets of paper in his trembling hands.

Lilith’s eyes flicked to the divorce agreement in his grip, her expression lighted up with excitement. She grabbed his arm and tried to snatch the documents.

"Is this a divorce agreement?" he asked, "Are you finally divorcing Kelly?"

Annoyed, Mario shoved her away.

Lilith was a little upset and turned her head to point to where I was standing before, but only to see that the place was empty.

By then, I had already disappeared into the crowd. In a disoriented state, I kept walking aimlessly through the crowd, as if I was detached from every mess-up thing that happened around me.
