The day Louis broke up with her was the worst day in Theresa's life. She hadn't expected it. She thought everything was perfect in their relationship because it was as it had ever been. She cried and shouted telling him that she had left everything aside for him; her friends, her hobbies, everything. That he was everything she had left in her life. Louis shook his head and told her that was the reason why he was leaving her. Because she had become a parasite, the only thing she could talk about was them, and how much she loved him. It was tiring, to have the undivided attention of someone so boring. Theresa paled when she heard it, she had never considered herself a boring person, but obsession does that to people, sometimes.
Even with all that, she seemed to recover out of it pretty well. Some of it had to do with Louis moving out to another city. People from her work would tell her that she was nice, but she didn't socialize much. No one had been at her place, but she had been to some of her coworkers homes sometimes. They always said that she would leave work on time, do grocery shopping and go back home until the next day. She was lonely, but happy.
Theresa opened the door of her home as usual.
-Hi, sweetie, I'm home!- she called out, knowing there would be no answer.
She left the shopping bags in the kitchen and headed to the living room, where she kissed Louis in the front.
-You're stinking again. I need to buy more air freshener.
The corpse didn't say anything, it just stared at her with his dead eyes.
