The Cupboard

Photo Prompt © Ronda Del Boccio 

I knew my sister was gone as soon as I opened the cupboard.  It was so empty and bare that I also knew she was not coming back.  I should have realized sooner what her plans were, but I had been too hopeful.  Hopeful she would stay around.  Hopeful she would help with the house.  Hopeful she wasn’t going back to David.  The fact there was only zero sugar Dr. Pepper in the cabinet told me everything I needed to know.  And all I needed to know was that I was finally free.
