“What are you doing here?” Sarah said placing her cup of tea on the wooden table in front of her. She was disgusted at the sight of her husband. 387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCK8aPgMbp1
“I wanted to-” 387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3i5YQJf3R
“So you barge in here and think that will fix everything?” Sarah said letting her hair out of the ponytail. Her loose curls laid right past her shoulders. 387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyMKv8StWk
“Can you hear me out?” Chris said as he took off his soaking wet coat and hung it on a hook near the front door. Sarah observed him as he hesitated then sat on the opposite end of the couch. Rose and David had left the room at this point leaving the couple alone to work things out. 387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgdibb4NwW
She darted her eyes away from her husband as she snuggled up on the couch alone. The silence was almost deafening and Sarah couldn’t stand it. 387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Yyht8ealO
“What do you want to say to me?” she said in a whisper almost as if she was talking to herself. 387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKY0qvkizex
“What?” Chris said. 387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJPPEgyKBW
Sarah looked up at Chris with a stern voice and said: “What did you want to tell me?” 387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0aUPDFMQZ
“Sarah I’m so sorry. I can’t believe I put my hands on you. I don’t know what came over me.” 387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaecc3g0GzW
“I want more than an apology. Don’t you understand?”387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdPAFccm1G
“No.” 387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDKWr0xYb0
“I can’t talk to you.” 387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsXjC4kMuJ
“Why not?” 387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuOCMdAz4r
“Chris. All you do is try to fix me.” 387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQN982JsF7z
“I don’t,” Chris said standing up and throwing his hands up in the air. 387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgamvbKYOg
“Yes, you do. Look! I was assaulted. So much was taken away from me that day. I’m no longer the same woman that you married.” 387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDEj2oo4dY
“Sweetie?” Chris bent down beside Sarah and took her hands into his “I know you won’t be. I miss your smiles and laughter. I miss our long talks. I want to hear how you’re feeling.”387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9UHEruLPU
Sarah let go of her husband’s hands and stood up. The cold air from removing the blanket from her body hit her hard, but she ignored it. “I don’t want you to treat me any differently.” 387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Wk1D4Lr2K
“I wouldn’t do that.” 387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTj0NJGDnR
“But you have. Every time I want to do something at home you treat me like one of those porcelain dolls.” 387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMejm2UStb
“I’ll work on that. I just want you home.”387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqA0Or3M0I
Sarah didn’t know what to say. The past few hours have been a roller coaster for her. “Chris. I need some time to think. It hasn’t even been twenty-four hours yet.”387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oUH0DtLO4
“I know. Please just come home."387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1HXbFIV8M
“I will. Let’s just-” Sarah let the tears fall and with a crack in her voice she continued “I need some peace and quiet.” 387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcpCGTnqd7
“What do you mean?” By this time Chris was standing only a few inches away from Sarah. 387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRTC7XRYpb
“You love me. I know that with all my heart. I can’t have you carrying this burden around for me.” 387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJYSYtO9ie
“But I’m your husband. I’m here to help you.” 387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcur53jFT5p
“How about we compromise? I’ll leave David’s at the end of the week. Today’s Tuesday and I’ll leave on Saturday.” 387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwY4d66RUg
“Sarah if that’s what you want.” 387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlMRM0i6dW
“And I’ll update you on when I meet with Dr. Waterstein again.” 387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3fNjFvMMn
“You’re still meeting with him?” Chris said with a frustrated frown upon his face. 387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTgi7KWlRF
“Yes, he’s my therapist.” 387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaoph7OhKl
“I don’t think he’s the best person you should be talking to I did some research and he’s license was just-”387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hiAkKw9dR
“Chris I don’t care. I want someone to talk to that’s not you.” 387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTKbCzYtBG
“You know Sarah I came here to fix things with us. I can see you don’t want that.” 387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22t5w2O3vI
“I do. I just need time. You hurt me Chris and it’s difficult for me to come running back into your arms.” 387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbauQb4zgG
Chris turned and began to walk back to the couch. He stopped sharply and turned to face Sarah, “Well let’s hope the next time you meet with him it’s not in his bed.” 387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMz4vj8srx
It was as if time had stopped. Sarah hoped she had heard her husband wrong. Why would he think she would cheat on him? “Why did you say that?” 387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfktCLwzKv2
“I don’t know.”387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wmLn61SxQ
“You don’t know? You really believe I would cheat on you?” 387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMPD0hMo0m
“I just don’t want you to leave me.” 387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJdv1TGuKJ
“I won’t. Let me have some space.” 387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTtqB7zdGT
“Fine!” Chris turned and walked towards the front door and he slipped on his jacket. He then left David’s condo, slamming the door behind him. 387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJsa7lz2rw
Sarah closed her eyes hoping that this was all a dream. A cruel and twisted nightmare. She opened her eyes and was still standing in David’s living room. Her tea had probably gotten cold and the rain, sleet, and snow were still pouring down outside. She heard a creek on the wooden floor. Looking up she saw Rose. Who leaned against the archway which separated the living room from the kitchen. 387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJzAXtKVPo
“Hey,” Rose spoke softly. 387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCh2Xqse8L
“Hey. Did you hear everything?” 387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtj5OJtVto
“No. Once Chris arrived David and I left.”387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQTYjmXIkq
“Where did you go?” Sarah said as she sat on the couch and took a sip of her cold tea. 387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxZA8e7Bru
“To the enclosed back porch. I love the sound of rain.” 387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5T2jMopdng
“Sounds nice.” 387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wBK6lbMpJ
“What happened?” Rose sat on the couch next to Sarah.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3bVzmRAtl
“Lots of things. Well, first we’re taking a break.”387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQ1Aba38xE
“A break?” Rose pulled a blanket from across the couch onto her lap.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyAyRzuvLp
“Yeah. I told him I’ll be home by Saturday. I need space. Time to process and think things over.”387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3Ldt3HwrU
“That’s understandable. This past month or so has been hectic for you.”387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZCEn2xQi7
“To say the least. Then he drops this bombshell on me. He thinks I’m going to cheat on him.”387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeMGkBshZO
Rose's eyes went wide as she clenched her cup of tea tighter. “Why would he say something like that?”387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAT8gxCEcI7
“He said he doesn’t want me to leave him.”387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡku0K6JaAeR
“Are you leaving him?”387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEGOKUs7N0
“No, it’s never crossed my mind.”387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZNGtEl14l
“That’s good. What about-”387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanMt7lahFk
“Rose!” The women both turned to David who’s coat was already on. He didn't notice the drops of water which splattered onto the hardwood floor. 387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgm5euKHgTj
“David, what’s wrong?” Rose panicked. 387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkBjOcnZPU
“The captain called. They found a body at an outdoor concert.”387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhL2S4dzDEk
“Wouldn’t that be homicide’s case?” 387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hrohypi0e
“Normally, but it looks like the victim was sexually assaulted. They covered the area the best they could because of the rain we should get there as soon as possible. I don’t want the weather to destroy all our evidence.”387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXSoOc4Tt2
“I’ll meet you in the car.”387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPBKJ8LivJ
“Alright. Sarah?”387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVLT2N0W5M
“Yes, David?”387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRwbosVH6P
“I’m sorry about what’s happening between you and Chris.”387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfmotRmMqA
“It’s not your fault.”387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJPQDvb5We
“Do you or the baby need anything?”387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfvnpObYcw
“Finding a way that all this didn’t happen.”387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZ5K8PxZUq
“I would if I could.”387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinp2Z5ir18
“How about ice cream?”387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70lzU6zYcI
“What flavor?”387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9XWAPUK2c
“Surprise me,” Sarah said with a soft smile.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcjSnWv2L2
“It’s good to see you smile. And I’ll surprise you.”387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUjZeKE0yt
“Thanks.”387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL79rmZPkBn
“Call us if you need anything,” Rose said slipping on her rain boots and hat.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv41mJAo9PW
“I will. I’ll see you both later.” Sarah said. 387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNrekFLgzM
Getting up from the couch she shut the door behind David and Rose. She slid her body down the door and sat on the floor, not caring if her pants got wet from the rain water. She thought about their unborn baby and she didn’t want he or she to get mixed up in all this mess. 8964 copyright protection383ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvcMGxuss0 維尼
