Five years. Six tomorrow. She stared at her reflection in the mirror. Refusing to take in herself, just staring. It had been six years, and there was no less pain, and nothing more fulfilled, no hope achieved, than when it had started. Why had she done it? Why had she done it? She had asked herself that same question over and over, for years upon years. She knew the answer. It was shallow, and uninspiring. Yet she had never admitted it to herself. Never quite articulated the simple answer to her question: She had been bored, and in love with love.
