Chapter 22. The Arrest

It brought them back to reality and Sheila disengaged herself from him quickly to answer the call.

There was this awkward feeling again which made Henry get up to his feet immediately. He picked his things and waited for Sheila to finish answering the call before he told her he was retiring to his hotel room which was opposite hers.

She didn’t argue as usual for him to stay a little longer. She nodded her head gently in response and looked away without talking.

“Goodnight Sheila.”

“Goodnight,” she said in a voice not louder than a whisper.

She remained in the same position until she heard the sound of the closing door. She fell back to the bed and closed her eyes.

Several thoughts ran through her mind and she began to feel so foolish as she wondered what was happening to her. She had not been able to get Henry off her mind in the past few days. She felt silly for letting him dominate her thoughts after she had only known him for few months.
