Chapter 44. Rafe

Freya doesn't speak a word during the car ride and keeps her eyes fixed on the front. I glance in her direction after every few minutes while pondering on a lot of stuff.

She's currently portraying herself as resolute and tough, making it hard to believe that she was the same woman from last night who looked vulnerable, looked as if she would do anything for me. I know she's right now trying her utmost to hide her weak side from me and I'm not going to push her for something she doesn't want to show. I'll play along.

However, that makes me realize that I was deceived by her resolute facade for some time and did not consider her own personal feelings about our entire marriage situation. Last night, it was a glimpse of her weak side that she is feeling every emotion. She just doesn't want to disclose her vulnerabilities to anyone or...maybe only to me.

I turn my head in her direction.

I should have kept my eyes more opened.
