"A tear sloped across her cheek, clear and acidic as white cider, pausing mutely for a moment on the gentle curve of her chin before throwing itself groundwards with sorrowful intent. The wet driplet burst upon his exposed chest, rigid with defined musculature and the creeping shadow of rigor-mortis. Chad Bullet, she whispered into the softly falling snow, I loved you..."
