Chapter 36 – Do Not Fall

(Alexander’s POV)

The grandfather clock played the melody at twelve noon, and it had been hours, but still, Leigh was not talking to me or any of her family members except for Royce and Kayla’s children. I watched her tirelessly clean her bedroom, re-arranged her already neatly folded clothes in the closets, books on the shelf, her things in the dresser, on the drawer, and by looking at her, I could easily remember where she placed things just in case she forgot where she put them.

She placed her yoga mat in the living room, brought her jar, and her nephew and nieces helped her separate the colors of the pebbles.

This won’t work. I have to talk to her, or she has to speak to me, or else I will go crazy. This might be normal for her family, but they have been with her for twenty-four years, but in my case, we were just married for four days.
