Also known as "Fuck then fuck off". Two characters have sex. Upon waking the next morning, the woman reaches out for her man. The camera follows her hand to the empty pillow; he has flown in the night. Usually a man does the loving and leaving, but women do it too. The scene is a sad one, the root of the sadness perhaps being the broken link between sex and love/commitment. The broken link is highlighted by the furtive, even guilty, departure. A common subversion is to have the missing lover show up seconds later with coffee or breakfast for two. On occasion the desertion will be shown; time for moonlit regret, lingering last looks of her sleeping face. Sometimes the man is leaving on a mission. Added pathos points if the man is going to his death. In this case, he will often have left something (or someone) behind. Contrast: Breakfast in Bed, when one serves their lover breakfast upon waking up in bed; Bedmate Reveal. |

Played with in The Eiger Sanction. Government assassin Dr. Hemlock meets a beautiful black stewardess on the aircraft taking him to Switzerland and spends the night with her, only to find she's gone the next day. Then, to his delight, she rings him on the phone...only to tell him to get in contact with his spymaster boss. | |

Double subverted in Cabin Fever: Parting Shot: First of all, Paul does (reluctantly) stay for the extremely awkward breakfast; but he hightails it out of there the instant he is finished, curtly dismissing a request from his beloved for him to wait so that she can come with him. Secondly, he wasn't actually the one who slept with the girl; he stumbled upon another guy bedding his unrequited love and now he just wants to run away from both of them. Averted later on with an impulsive casual sex scene: the sort you figure that the participants will probably regret immediately afterward, and would typically set up Not Staying For Breakfast. Yet despite at least one of the lovers having a What Have I Done moment when they notice who they've woken up with, the pair stick together for a cozy morning lay-in. |

Invoked in By The Sword when the mercenary Kerowyn and Herald Eldan were fleeing the Karsites she rescued him from. She realized that A) the priestess hunting them was tracking her enchanted sword, B) the only way Eldan could escape to Valdemar was if she drew off pursuit, & C) he would try to talk her out of it (and her feelings for him were such that she might let him). So she basically shagged him senseless, left a note, and fled into the night; not seeing him again face-to-face for a decade. Eldan forgave her for it... eventually. | |

Humorously done in Coupling with Patrick's behavior as The Casanova. He has it as engrained behavior to leave immediately after sex and instinctively make a telephone sign should his lover be awake as he is leaving. This understandably creates problems when Sally tries to start a long-term relationship with him. | |

Arrow: Oliver Queen and Helena Bertinelli realise they're not so different as lonely vigilantes hiding behind a Secret Identity and fall into bed with each other at the end of "Muse of Fire". In the next episode, Helena slips out of bed in the middle of the night to continue her Roaring Rampage of Revenge. It's played entirely like this trope with Oliver having to chase after Helena and coax her into continuing their relationship. In "Keep Your Enemies Closer", we see Oliver Queen getting dressed because he has to go on a secret vigilante mission, then a Reveal Shot shows that Isabel Rochev is in his bed. When he's about to make up an excuse for leaving, she responds bluntly: "Do I really strike you as someone who needs to cuddle?" In "This Is Your Sword", Thea Queen finds out her boyfriend Roy Harper faked his death and they spend the night together. Roy leaves her in the morning, quits his job and moves out of town leaving only a message explaining that he doesn't want her to be forced to live with him as a fugitive. In "Genesis", Thea wakes up to an empty bed, only to find her next boyfriend Alex Davis downstairs cooking breakfast. However, the momentary disquiet she feels is only the first when she realises there is something odd about the Stepford Suburbia he's brought them to... |

Keep Breathing: Liv continually resisted getting into a real relationship with her on again/off again lover Danny, rejecting his offer to make breakfast the morning after they slept together. It's made clear from her past that she fears intimacy due to her mom abandoning her, thinking he'll just leave her as well later so she avoids it this way preemptively, despite Danny's protests. | |

Subverted in First Drop of Crimson. Denise wakes up the morning after to find the other half of the bed empty with smooth sheets, and the bathroom empty. At first, she panics: Maybe he regrets it. Maybe he left me, before she calms down and thinks Maybe he doesn't rumple the sheets when he sleeps, and maybe he just went downstairs. She's right, of course; Spade spent the night in her arms and left just before she woke to answer the door. | |

Daredevil (2003). Matt Murdock gets dumped by a girl he's dating for constantly doing this trope. Of course, his reasons for slipping out at night are because he's a masked vigilante, plus he has to sleep in a sensory deprivation chamber thanks to his Super-Hearing—but he can hardly tell her this. Later, Elektra does the same to Matt but leaves an engraved invitation to a black-tie event held by her father (which he'd previously turned down) on the pillow next to him. | |

The protagonist of Airframe has a casual sexual relationship with a pilot, and he never stays after sex, though she wishes he would. This is contrasted with the antagonist, a shallow television news reporter who has sex with a stuntman she knows in the area, and she is annoyed that he doesn't leave afterwards. | |

The War Against the Chtorr. In A Matter for Men, McCarthy spends the night with a woman, then has an Oh, Crap! the next morning when he realises he's late for a meeting with his superior. The woman assumes this trope and refuses to talk to him again despite repeated attempts. Earlier his friend Ted seduces the poor boy while he's still smarting from the whole "man-eating alien caterpillars are real" thing, then treats it as a mindless fling the next morning. The worst part is that Ted's highly libertine upbringing means he never really understands what McCarthy's so pissed about. A sci-fi take on this trope occurs in A Day for Damnation. Ted (who has become a telepath) Body Surfs into the body of a beautiful woman so he can seduce McCarthy again. The next day McCarthy wakes up next to a very grumpy woman who kicks him out of bed, Ted having moved on to another body and left the original owner to deal with the hangover and cleaning up. |

Played for laughs in Crisis on Earth-X when Alex Danvers gets drunk and has a one-night stand with Sara Lance. While Sara's promiscuity is a Running Gag, Alex (having never had a one-night stand before) has a My God, What Have I Done? and tries to discreetly slip away only to fall off the bed onto her behind. When they meet up later Sara and Alex have to be reminded of each other's names and Alex freaks out to her sister over having done such a "horrible guy thing", much to Kara's amusement. In the same episode, Barry Allen does a romantic version of this trope. After waking up in bed with Iris on the day of their wedding, he zips away using his super speed. When Iris wakes she finds a tray with breakfast, Flowers of Romance and a note saying that it's bad luck for the groom to see the bride before the wedding. |

One episode of The Closer had the victim who did this for a reality TV show. He'd pick up drunk women for a night and leave before they woke up. Then find them again and show them the video of the said night and film their reaction. He did this eight times, which led up to the line: "He did this eight times and was only shot once?" | |

Pondus has some interesting variations on this one, from the beginning with Jocke as the man leaving, and later with Eddie in similar situations. One of the funniest has Jocke waking up in a bed, not remembering much, but spotting a rather homely girl in the bed beside him. Cue Jocke getting fast out of bed, looking for his clothes and visually about to skidaddle, only to discover he is in his own bedroom. Hilarity ensues. | |

Colonel Hal Moore has to leave in the middle of the night to deploy with his men to Vietnam in We Were Soldiers. Julia wakes up in the middle of the night but only after he has gone. With the subversion that he hasn't left because he doesn't love her but because he knows that her watching him leave to go into combat will be very painful for her. He also doesn't look back and doesn't give her a thought until he finally returns home from his deployment. | |

On My Name Is Earl, Earl has done this to a lot of women over the course of his life, but the most notable incident is Number 86 on his list. He hooked up with a woman named Didi, and when she got out of bed in the morning to make them some breakfast, Earl found out that she had only one leg. He was shocked and upset, and decided to run for it. Meaning, he stole money from her purse, her prosthesis, and her car to make his getaway. It's unknown what he did with her car, but he buried her prosthetic leg under his old trailer home. To make up for it, she makes him do all her chores and errands hopping on one leg, to teach him how difficult he'd made her life in the ensuing years. | |

James Bond: James is a veteran lover and leaver, but this is done to him in at least two films—On Her Majesty's Secret Service and Die Another Day (possibly referencing the former film and even if not, fitting, as the woman doing is a Distaff Counterpart). Madga tries doing this to Bond in Octopussy, but Bond wakes up and insists on a last kiss. As he goes to embrace her, she falls backwards over the balcony and uses her unraveling sari to let her gently down to the ground. Her reason for trying to leave without waking Bond is that she stole something from him (Bond knows this, but this is All According to Plan). |

Subverted in Harry Potter Slash Fic Reparations. When Draco tells Harry that he should go home, Harry asks him to stay but then falls asleep before Draco can reply. So when Harry wakes up to an empty bed, he naturally assumes that Draco left anyway. That is, until he finds a few of Draco's things, as well as his trousers, on the bedroom floor. Turns out Draco is having a cup of tea in the kitchen, wearing nothing but one of Harry's shirts. | |

The Victorious fic "After the party" opens with Jade and Tori waking up naked in bed together after a drunken party the night before. Jade essentially kicks Tori out of her bed, only allowing her time to wash up before she has to leave her house, vowing to Tori that she will forget this night ever happened, leaving Tori emotionally hurt and bitter at Jade's rejection. It takes seeing Tori dating a new girl at Hollywood Arts and Beck confronting Jade about her actions (having found a video Jade made of some of their night together) for Jade to admit that she was just scared to admit her bisexuality and acknowledge her feelings for Tori. | |

in Top Gun, Charlie wakes up to find Maverick gone. Turns out it's a subversion in that he's left a note that she smiles while reading. Considering that the movie's title refers to what is basically a school (it's proper title at the time was Fighter Weapons School), he likely has to go to class (an earlier scene has a line of dialog indicating this - class in the morning, flight training in the afternoon). | |

Cabin Fever: Paul and Marcy go from being platonic friends to casual lovers in a matter of minutes. As soon as the deed is done, Paul is almost as fast to rinse Marcy's love juices off his wang with Listerine and tell her curtly that he's gonna run off into the forest to look for Marcy's boyfriend Jeff because "[He] just can't stay there any longer [with her]". Despite Marcy's anxious protests, Paul leaves her all alone in the Cabin. Of course, he left with a parting gift from Marcy: the flesh-eating disease she passed to him because they didn't use a condom. | |

In FAKE, after Dee and Ryo have sex for the first time, Ryo leaves while Dee is sleeping, leaving a note behind on his pillow. Dee makes a cursory complaint about it being unromantic, but he's too thrilled at having finally made some progress in their relationship to actually be upset about it, and unlike most examples it doesn't signify anything resembling a breakup. | |

In the film version of Stardust, Tristan leaves Yvaine after they make love. He fully intends to come back that same day, leaving only to disillusion his former not-so-true love in swashbuckling-hero fashion, but upon waking up alone Yvaine mistakenly believes he has abandoned her (thanks to Poor Communication Kills, Tristan asked a hotel employee to tell Yvaine where he went, but the man bungled the message). | |

After Crash and Annie finally sleep together in Bull Durham, she wakes up to a note from Crash explaining that he was headed out to Asheville for an opening as a catcher. Annie is mildly disappointed but understands: baseball may be where she finds metaphysical meaning in the world, "but it's also a job." He comes back at the end of the baseball season after breaking the minor league home run record and quitting. | |

The Saint (1997) had Simon romance Emma so he could steal her formula and then leave her the next morning with a bunch of notes saying "I'm sorry" because he'd genuinely formed an emotional response to her. Emma, however, subverted the trope because she wanted her cards back and went after him. | |

In Rivals Series: this happens twice: After their first sexual encounter, Yuuri wakes up alone and assumes that Viktor wants him gone now that they have had hate sex. Only for Viktor to come in with hot tea for Yuuri. Only for Yuuri to refuse to humor Viktor's attempts at small talk and leaves Viktor alone with barely a goodbye. Yuuri's rejection deeply wounds Viktor. It happens again at their second time, but this time Yuuri leaves immediately after they're finished. |

Variation in Criminal Minds: Morgan is in a serious committed relationship with Savannah and awakens early one morning to find she isn't in bed. She's in the living room preparing to leave, since she'd been called into work (she's a doctor). She gives him a brief goodbye, asks him to walk her dog for her, and tells him to lock up when he leaves. In this case, it's used to show that the relationship is advancing and that Savannah is comfortable having him around her apartment without feeling the need to excuse her absence. Garcia also points out the Double Standard, as Morgan would have no qualms about doing the same to Savannah if he'd been called in for a case, but the fact that it was a woman doing it to him weirded him out. | |

Half of the initial love scenes in Dragon Age II: Merrill and Anders will stick around, and eventually move in with Hawke (if s/he doesn't choose to boot them out the door right after their Love Confession), but Fenris and Isabela leave immediately. In Isabela's case, this is because she refuses to participate in anything deeper than a Friends with Benefits relationship (at first), and in Fenris' case, he has a brief lapse in his Identity Amnesia before he loses the memories again. The incident causes him to pull away from the relationship (for the moment). | |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer played a lot with this trope: In "Innocence", Angel leaves Buffy the morning after because he turned evil. As Evil Is Petty, he returns to taunt her over how It Doesn't Mean Anything to him. As this is Buffy's first time, the event is so traumatic this trope gets a Call-Back whenever Buffy takes a new lover. Angel pulls this again on Buffy in "I Will Remember You". When he becomes human again and finally can spend the night with her, he gets called by Doyle in the morning to face a demon. In that case, it's because he doesn't want to worry Buffy. In "The Harsh Light Of Day", we have the "went to get coffee" version when Buffy sleeps with Parker. When she sees the coffee, she's greatly relieved, which makes the following reveal - that Parker was really just in it for sex - much crueler. In "The I in Team", Buffy wakes up in bed, turns over in alarm...and finds Riley smiling back at her. As per the Rule of Threes, she's finally found a decent man. Then it becomes a Gender-Inverted Trope during Buffy's Destructive Romance with Spike. Because Buffy is ashamed of her Dating Catwoman relationship with the bad boy vampire, she never hangs around afterward, much to Spike's bitterness (it's not as if he can chase after her in the daylight). Buffy even gives the It Doesn't Mean Anything speech, just as Angelus did to her. This happens even after they reconcile in "Touched" and spend the night just holding each other; Buffy leaves before Spike wakes because she has to fight Caleb, leaving a letter for him in case she doesn't come back. After taking Xander's virginity Faith spears him out the door. Turns out she did the same to Wood and basically any guy she's been with. Wood however comments on this, and Faith begins to change her ways. |

In the Babylon 5 episode "Divided Loyalties", Talia (in Ivanova's quarters) wakes up and is surprised to find the other half of the bed empty. The next scene is an attack on Lyta Alexander, who has arrived at the station to deliver a warning about a Psi Corps sleeper agent. This turns out to be a bit of misdirection; after an episode with many clues pointing to Ivanova, the sleeper agent turned out to be Talia. The scene also serves as a deniable indication of the characters' possible relationship. Word of God has since confirmed that they'd slept together in more than the strictly literal sense. On another occasion, Ivanova invokes the trope in her "sex" scene with the Lumati ambassador: Jeffrey Sinclair and Catherine Sakai are implied to have done this to each other repeatedly over the years: They meet up, start talking about the past, eat dinner, fool around, one of them leaves the next morning, a few months pass and the cycle continues. They finally made an attempt at averting it at the end of Season 1, with him even proposing marriage (which she accepted); unfortunately, nothing came of it on the show as Sinclair's actor had to quit for health reasons. Their story is fairly neatly tied up with a bow in the declared-canon novel To Dream in the City of Sorrows, though. |

Conan the Barbarian (1982) loves and leaves Valeria in the movie in order to head to the Mountain of Power and infiltrate Thulsa Doom's cult to take vengeance for his people. She chases after him, which is just as well because Conan gets his ass kicked by the cultists when Doom uncovers him. | |

The Punisher (2017). In the first episode of Season 2, Frank Castle spends the night with Beth The Bartender. Even though they get along fine, he tries to slip out quietly the following morning, except downstairs he unexpectedly runs into her son, and he ends up taking them out for breakfast. The two of them make a more 'adult' departure after that, but Frank decides to come back to her bar the next night instead of driving on. Unfortunately, that doesn't end so well... | |
