Chapter 61

GRACIE

My gaze slowly opened to the bright morning light, the first thing I noticed was the empty space on the bed beside me.

After our argument yesterday we haven’t spoken to each other…

Even throughout dinner last night he appeared to be keeping his distance from me, I couldn’t help thinking it was my fault that we were back to this stage once again.

Last night he’d only entered into the room and lay down beside me when it was already so late, he probably had thought that I had fallen asleep, and this morning he was gone even before I could wake up.

I closed my eyes inhaling deeply, how long was this going to continue?

My ears caught the sound of water running and my attention directed at the closed bathroom door.

I pushed away the sheets and made my way out of the bed, I don’t know for how long I stood outside the bathroom door, I inhaled sharply then struggled for another as my fingers slowly enclosed the knob and pushed it open.
