"Are you sure you want to do this?" Niki asked.
Cyrinda nodded her head.
"Why though? It just seems so... wrong!" Niki paused. "Don't do it. Joe's going to be very upset."
"I just need to go away for a little while. Don't worry, I'm taking Candice with me."
"Joe is going to want to see Candice! That his child too, you know."
Niki watched her friend slam the trunk.
"Well, I'm going to go now."
"Where are you going?"
"Some where. I'll be fine."
"What if you get robbed?"
"I have a pistol with me!"
Niki shook her head "Come on, Don't do it."
She watched her friend put Candice in her seat. Cyrinda closed the door.
"I'll call you when I check into a hotel, okay?"
Niki deeply sighed and nodded her head. "Okay."
Cyrinda hugged her friend.
"Please don't tell Joe."
"Okay I won't."
"Do you promise?"
Niki shook her head "I can't make any promises. You're going to hurt Joe by doing this. Please, please stay!"
"No, I can't stay. Now please promise me that you won't tell him!"
"I'll try not to."
She sighed "All right. I'll talk to you later, okay?"
"Okay." Niki watched her friend get in the car. This is not going to end well...

Later that day
Joe exhaled his cigarette and stepped out of the car. He locked his car and put the keys in his pocket. He walked up the stairs and took out his keys back out to unlock the door to his apartment. He unlocked the door and stepped inside. The apartment was dark so Joe flipped the light switch on. He closed the door and stayed quiet for a moment.
"Babe?" He called out. "Babe where are you?"
He got no response. He was just about to walk down the hall to go check the bedroom when he realized there was a letter on the table in the dining room. He picked up the letter and read it. The letter was a paragraph long and it was from Cyrinda. He shook his head and ripped up the letter.
"I can't believe she would do this!" Joe angrily mumbled and crushed his cigarette on a nearby ash tray. "Son of a bitch!"
