“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. 351Please respect copyright.PENANAeQHhqnxgAM
“I wanted to-” 351Please respect copyright.PENANAVs0U9n4NE2
“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. 351Please respect copyright.PENANAVl0fa80Qiz
“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. 351Please respect copyright.PENANAOUIj1d5c1a
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. 351Please respect copyright.PENANA5un4q12KOO
“What do you want to say to me?” she said in a whisper almost as if she was talking to herself. 351Please respect copyright.PENANABEeptakkmy
“What?” Chris said. 351Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9MTVtNhBS
Sarah looked up at Chris with a stern voice and said: “What did you want to tell me?” 351Please respect copyright.PENANAyEsi8Qa0VT
“Sarah I’m so sorry. I can’t believe I put my hands on you. I don’t know what came over me.” 351Please respect copyright.PENANAh9DXxWGgSJ
“I want more than an apology. Don’t you understand?”351Please respect copyright.PENANAi0GnyADkXs
“No.” 351Please respect copyright.PENANAbsCnMco6sQ
“I can’t talk to you.” 351Please respect copyright.PENANAo2gGXYSupc
“Why not?” 351Please respect copyright.PENANA6HncqRzrRx
“Chris. All you do is try to fix me.” 351Please respect copyright.PENANAxoTBAIJA9m
“I don’t,” Chris said standing up and throwing his hands up in the air. 351Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7nBSBTTTU
“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.” 351Please respect copyright.PENANAfp2in2qAGJ
“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.”351Please respect copyright.PENANALAt7EmFCeI
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.” 351Please respect copyright.PENANA9ga0p5jALP
“I wouldn’t do that.” 351Please respect copyright.PENANAE9mrgW84xF
“But you have. Every time I want to do something at home you treat me like one of those porcelain dolls.” 351Please respect copyright.PENANAum7f9qqMse
“I’ll work on that. I just want you home.”351Please respect copyright.PENANAR3umlENm8J
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.”351Please respect copyright.PENANABBzGvvkkjE
“I know. Please just come home."351Please respect copyright.PENANAI1p20VQmHg
“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.” 351Please respect copyright.PENANAXkNLvCRQfZ
“What do you mean?” By this time Chris was standing only a few inches away from Sarah. 351Please respect copyright.PENANAcwuQneExlw
“You love me. I know that with all my heart. I can’t have you carrying this burden around for me.” 351Please respect copyright.PENANA7T3qjFESKh
“But I’m your husband. I’m here to help you.” 351Please respect copyright.PENANAUKbWMdYMt4
“How about we compromise? I’ll leave David’s at the end of the week. Today’s Tuesday and I’ll leave on Saturday.” 351Please respect copyright.PENANAl9yhuYWYcV
“Sarah if that’s what you want.” 351Please respect copyright.PENANAF0dTy2tkg8
“And I’ll update you on when I meet with Dr. Waterstein again.” 351Please respect copyright.PENANAJz0ogihiu1
“You’re still meeting with him?” Chris said with a frustrated frown upon his face. 351Please respect copyright.PENANAvU9Aks19EB
“Yes, he’s my therapist.” 351Please respect copyright.PENANAUARY9D2oPP
“I don’t think he’s the best person you should be talking to I did some research and he’s license was just-”351Please respect copyright.PENANAmgkG2rXKs1
“Chris I don’t care. I want someone to talk to that’s not you.” 351Please respect copyright.PENANA45SkSi93BC
“You know Sarah I came here to fix things with us. I can see you don’t want that.” 351Please respect copyright.PENANAC7Q913NP8O
“I do. I just need time. You hurt me Chris and it’s difficult for me to come running back into your arms.” 351Please respect copyright.PENANAmhK16Xm6YI
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.” 351Please respect copyright.PENANAYQMdMOCURo
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?” 351Please respect copyright.PENANAz3QKzRVkOI
“I don’t know.”351Please respect copyright.PENANAuyOojGzsFi
“You don’t know? You really believe I would cheat on you?” 351Please respect copyright.PENANAdrHAoqWyoc
“I just don’t want you to leave me.” 351Please respect copyright.PENANA96OvRa7csr
“I won’t. Let me have some space.” 351Please respect copyright.PENANAfWB7LcGlsA
“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. 351Please respect copyright.PENANAbfSMHlx1C1
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. 351Please respect copyright.PENANAGnUOonDWHw
“Hey,” Rose spoke softly. 351Please respect copyright.PENANAUbgwWbCl3H
“Hey. Did you hear everything?” 351Please respect copyright.PENANAu9lgmbpCjT
“No. Once Chris arrived David and I left.”351Please respect copyright.PENANAUBHl9Mp9TM
“Where did you go?” Sarah said as she sat on the couch and took a sip of her cold tea. 351Please respect copyright.PENANAxigP5oqD08
“To the enclosed back porch. I love the sound of rain.” 351Please respect copyright.PENANATICS06NoHU
“Sounds nice.” 351Please respect copyright.PENANA1F0i6SLTGg
“What happened?” Rose sat on the couch next to Sarah.351Please respect copyright.PENANALKHPEKc7GY
“Lots of things. Well, first we’re taking a break.”351Please respect copyright.PENANADOKu0FtiBc
“A break?” Rose pulled a blanket from across the couch onto her lap.351Please respect copyright.PENANAQP68N8FJlP
“Yeah. I told him I’ll be home by Saturday. I need space. Time to process and think things over.”351Please respect copyright.PENANAgsr0hz9zr7
“That’s understandable. This past month or so has been hectic for you.”351Please respect copyright.PENANAjOUQLClaWY
“To say the least. Then he drops this bombshell on me. He thinks I’m going to cheat on him.”351Please respect copyright.PENANATMzRbQSG4Q
Rose's eyes went wide as she clenched her cup of tea tighter. “Why would he say something like that?”351Please respect copyright.PENANA22lsvicUTC
“He said he doesn’t want me to leave him.”351Please respect copyright.PENANATonKLUPs3a
“Are you leaving him?”351Please respect copyright.PENANAJdCiFrfldo
“No, it’s never crossed my mind.”351Please respect copyright.PENANAMcxY7E5d1w
“That’s good. What about-”351Please respect copyright.PENANAeYytDPBJxu
“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. 351Please respect copyright.PENANA5xlZYrNy0d
“David, what’s wrong?” Rose panicked. 351Please respect copyright.PENANAU7jPyrgvIt
“The captain called. They found a body at an outdoor concert.”351Please respect copyright.PENANAFgw0FyRc6j
“Wouldn’t that be homicide’s case?” 351Please respect copyright.PENANAy7UQVAt9ZW
“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.”351Please respect copyright.PENANAsYvyboxwK3
“I’ll meet you in the car.”351Please respect copyright.PENANAdLaRW6iwEx
“Alright. Sarah?”351Please respect copyright.PENANAjceVNuPOHh
“Yes, David?”351Please respect copyright.PENANA30HEcXidgE
“I’m sorry about what’s happening between you and Chris.”351Please respect copyright.PENANASj9WttPSFD
“It’s not your fault.”351Please respect copyright.PENANAYNEcnCyqXV
“Do you or the baby need anything?”351Please respect copyright.PENANAYNr8ydcuXN
“Finding a way that all this didn’t happen.”351Please respect copyright.PENANACZYV9U9SSN
“I would if I could.”351Please respect copyright.PENANAPkQrOEAqp9
“How about ice cream?”351Please respect copyright.PENANAhFBMALMFfn
“What flavor?”351Please respect copyright.PENANAor5Saqcp3G
“Surprise me,” Sarah said with a soft smile.351Please respect copyright.PENANATLOF4BwTW0
“It’s good to see you smile. And I’ll surprise you.”351Please respect copyright.PENANAAnhTVo4LuT
“Thanks.”351Please respect copyright.PENANAOl3daw743b
“Call us if you need anything,” Rose said slipping on her rain boots and hat.351Please respect copyright.PENANAX40iCkaAdr
“I will. I’ll see you both later.” Sarah said. 351Please respect copyright.PENANAcizdDxYqZ5
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.
