Separation

He wanted to be sure that she would leave the city so he offered her a ride home. She had no real choice. They drove in silence. She asked him only to stop by the ocean. When she undressed he looked away. She took a long swim and came back to the car naked and wet. When they arrived he kissed on the cheek and left her at the door and she just stood there naked for six thousand years licking the salt off her hands.
