“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. 392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSlR2IKnEn
“I wanted to-” 392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9dRCjBc74
“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. 392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUUlB5WtdR
“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. 392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyL3x7H6OJN
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. 392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiH2sO0dymU
“What do you want to say to me?” she said in a whisper almost as if she was talking to herself. 392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaikYugMNH
“What?” Chris said. 392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIcQ0JXhs5
Sarah looked up at Chris with a stern voice and said: “What did you want to tell me?” 392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3eDAxBkqr
“Sarah I’m so sorry. I can’t believe I put my hands on you. I don’t know what came over me.” 392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7OqIpmaZW
“I want more than an apology. Don’t you understand?”392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLHo9INTXg
“No.” 392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTh2wAI9Rij
“I can’t talk to you.” 392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBLqPCCkPX
“Why not?” 392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2MnVMFlJx
“Chris. All you do is try to fix me.” 392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QARkeKbJQ
“I don’t,” Chris said standing up and throwing his hands up in the air. 392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUUwQXa2QJ
“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.” 392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpEwv7BN3b
“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.”392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mDyfmiosz
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.” 392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQ1EIPdHbp
“I wouldn’t do that.” 392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9xZPoQazt
“But you have. Every time I want to do something at home you treat me like one of those porcelain dolls.” 392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRd1MqasdZ
“I’ll work on that. I just want you home.”392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJwaOP2c1p
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.”392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWYXQ5TSce
“I know. Please just come home."392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofavcW3BIh
“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.” 392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2qf6Uqlzy
“What do you mean?” By this time Chris was standing only a few inches away from Sarah. 392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEOlbXUF9Z
“You love me. I know that with all my heart. I can’t have you carrying this burden around for me.” 392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNQ7lPvyjR
“But I’m your husband. I’m here to help you.” 392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ470Vo08epQ
“How about we compromise? I’ll leave David’s at the end of the week. Today’s Tuesday and I’ll leave on Saturday.” 392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9iX6EJVHI
“Sarah if that’s what you want.” 392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5A6m531OOl
“And I’ll update you on when I meet with Dr. Waterstein again.” 392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCH2SVWRJ5
“You’re still meeting with him?” Chris said with a frustrated frown upon his face. 392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvT4fLz4fF
“Yes, he’s my therapist.” 392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2sKecoYjX
“I don’t think he’s the best person you should be talking to I did some research and he’s license was just-”392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspm6KYLkPc
“Chris I don’t care. I want someone to talk to that’s not you.” 392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9OKU4O19B
“You know Sarah I came here to fix things with us. I can see you don’t want that.” 392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡush57rCGNE
“I do. I just need time. You hurt me Chris and it’s difficult for me to come running back into your arms.” 392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoCrQMuXl2
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.” 392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQJltoBGSu
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?” 392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsaJvoDi1D
“I don’t know.”392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAM00NqjuBF
“You don’t know? You really believe I would cheat on you?” 392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlI6q20n1c1
“I just don’t want you to leave me.” 392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwl6b9LMAZ
“I won’t. Let me have some space.” 392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfM3MkTl3ef
“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. 392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtz3bWiBpK
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. 392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmpkxnNWBp
“Hey,” Rose spoke softly. 392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9tsUdKkj7
“Hey. Did you hear everything?” 392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2FAi0A4RW
“No. Once Chris arrived David and I left.”392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vDR2dAFEE
“Where did you go?” Sarah said as she sat on the couch and took a sip of her cold tea. 392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMojukruSs
“To the enclosed back porch. I love the sound of rain.” 392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJRPLD4hnx
“Sounds nice.” 392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcrxhNnMNb
“What happened?” Rose sat on the couch next to Sarah.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUmEpvLU92
“Lots of things. Well, first we’re taking a break.”392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8roMazsYLA
“A break?” Rose pulled a blanket from across the couch onto her lap.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbeZSsk2yC
“Yeah. I told him I’ll be home by Saturday. I need space. Time to process and think things over.”392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TdkM6VlLU
“That’s understandable. This past month or so has been hectic for you.”392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtSIku6SM1
“To say the least. Then he drops this bombshell on me. He thinks I’m going to cheat on him.”392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNWqTbf3Vu
Rose's eyes went wide as she clenched her cup of tea tighter. “Why would he say something like that?”392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDGW150u5l
“He said he doesn’t want me to leave him.”392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjj6kvTcZFZ
“Are you leaving him?”392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3om0eJ68eJ
“No, it’s never crossed my mind.”392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8XKxE2jzQ
“That’s good. What about-”392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGj7cYmiPhv
“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. 392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrh3a5IuHJx
“David, what’s wrong?” Rose panicked. 392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiCboBHagL
“The captain called. They found a body at an outdoor concert.”392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQtUQJA2Z8
“Wouldn’t that be homicide’s case?” 392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavkQUd1tdX
“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.”392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHx2dCd90p
“I’ll meet you in the car.”392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTdfyhbM9u
“Alright. Sarah?”392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHRYcRkFaq
“Yes, David?”392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqsRKsXQfG
“I’m sorry about what’s happening between you and Chris.”392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYy3QMR4yaE
“It’s not your fault.”392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnIBNTFdGh
“Do you or the baby need anything?”392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2v5hPjlbx
“Finding a way that all this didn’t happen.”392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIwLl7euIe
“I would if I could.”392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MBlcZaa0F
“How about ice cream?”392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9PFqp9bYL
“What flavor?”392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjf7K3su0s
“Surprise me,” Sarah said with a soft smile.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7a2G3G6kQ
“It’s good to see you smile. And I’ll surprise you.”392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNF6JyARdJ
“Thanks.”392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXVWYUDiNN
“Call us if you need anything,” Rose said slipping on her rain boots and hat.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwN58jWKbA
“I will. I’ll see you both later.” Sarah said. 392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXx4fmIpWVo
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.
