Wayfriend, when did you stop loving me? I thought we was pals, I thought we had something together. Please, baby, reconsider our love. It meant so much to me....

Bump.
Should I declare a winner now? Where is everyone?!?! This one's eeeeeeasy.
There's still a chance for someone to win -- there are three that have not been correctly answered, and three more that can be made more specific. Similarly, there's a chance for anyone who's already entered to improve their score and get ahead of someone else.

Excellent one, dlb.
I'd have done this, but it requires both sentences:He did not hear Lena arise, gather the shreds of her clothing, speak, or climb away out of the shattered ravine.
"She went to spend the night with a friend. She only called out her message as she passed our home."

"She didn't have anything left except her smile."
