Write a short scene in which one character reduces another to uncontrollable sobs without touching or speaking
She walks into the bar, looking lonely and lost. He was watching from a destroyed booth with chewed gum covering the bottom of the table. There was a tear in the booth cover shaped like his broken heart. He watched her, wondering if she would even notice he was there. They had split 2 months before, but he never stopped thinking about her curly hair and her blinding smile. As she ordered a drink, a blonde girl approached him, asking for his number. She talked, but he was only paying attention to the girl he loved. He felt a slap, and saw the blonde girl storm away in anger and frustration, but he only cared about Morgan. She felt the heat of his stare on her back, and turned expecting to see a stranger. The room grew quiet, and her heart filled with the remembrance of her love. Maybe they were meant to be together. Maybe their breakup was a mistake. Her eyes swelled with possibility, and the tears fell like a waterfall. She approached him, sobbing, and fell into his strong and forgiving arms.
