Chapter 87. The Discovery

Albie's POV

Elsie.

I saw her from the far end of the entrance corridor, as always she looked stunning, her beauty was something that was like a renewing spring that replenished every single day.

It's been two days since we last saw, last spoke and to me, it felt like forever. I couldn't sleep in my bed without having invading thoughts from her.

The sheets smelled like her, her things were still hanging around, and I didn't have the heart nor strength to gather them.

Today felt odd as I woke up to prepare for work and her presence was absent, when I got into the shower to bathe, her products stood on the bathroom shelf as they judged me silently.

I just had to dress as though I was invading someone else's privacy, it was strange given it was my house and not hers.

I drove to work all alone, I can't even remember the last time the passenger's seat was vacant, I had gotten so used to her being around.
