My husband came home, cheerfully told me he was leaving me for his personal trainer and waltzed out the front door, leaving me shocked and tearful.
The man was taken to hospital at 9am with a broken leg and four broken ribs, yet he waltzed out at 4pm and went back to work!

For example: I can't just waltz out of here after you brought me back to life.
