Taking a long drag on his packed Remington, he watched her stroll down the sidewalk arm-in-arm with that preppy guy from her office. He tossed the spent butt on the ground, crushing it under his heel.

This would be the last time she made him wait for her.

Very ominous, from the first line to the last
