Mel and Jack - Premeditation

“Jack!”
He just stared at her, a dead look in his eye. He knew what her next words would be and he knew they would be right. He didn’t say anything, but clenched his jaw. Melanie shook her head with a warning look in her eye. She knew Jack knew what she was going to say.

Mel clenched her jaw and Jack saw a flame rise in her eye. He knew she felt betrayed at this moment, but he believed he was doing the right thing. He turned his back on her in order to move out of the door, the hard metal object in his hand warming to his touch.
“Jack…”
He stopped, staring at the patterns on the marble floor. There was silence. Jack turned his head to face the side to let Mel know she had his attention, for one of the last times.
Mel clenched her fists and flexed her jaw. Her lip trembled. They knew each other well enough for him to know how this made her feel, she knew that. Her eyebrows furrowed as she struggled to make up her mind. Shout or cry? Neither would help.
She breathed sharply out of her nose.
“One word,” she said through clenched teeth, “Premeditation.”
