"I love you, I know you know that."
The tears dripped off his chin to lightly colour the sheets. His mind already shut off the incessant beeping of the ECG and the plastic hissing through the tubing in her nostrils.
This was not the peace his wife sought, and he knew it was right to help her find the solace that had eluded them both all these long months.
To truly love her, he knew the only course of action left to express that love.
The button clicked loudly when he turned off the machine, as did the door closing behind him as he left the nursing home.
