slip away
Leave without goodbye
To slip away is to leave quietly or gradually, often without being noticed: She slipped away from the party before midnight.
The phrase suggests stealth or subtlety rather than abrupt departure.
Time slips away when it passes unnoticed.
Life or consciousness slips away when someone dies gradually: He slipped away peacefully in his sleep.
