Evelyn’s resentful eyes shifted towards the man beside her. His concentration stayed on the laptop screen in front of him.“Say what you have to instead of looking like that. Unfortunately, I don’t have the ability to read your mind,” he pointed out.She scoffed.However, she soon changed her expression to a solemn one and brought up, “I want to visit Grandpa’s grave first.”This made Landon’s eyes fall on her— a mixture of complex emotions swirling in them— and he nodded his head.After that, she leaned her head against the window and watched the road they sped against. It didn’t take them long to arrive at the cemetery. Evelyn pulled open the door and stepped outside without waiting for Landon to get down.She then made her way over to Grandpa Parker’s grave. The grave appeared to be regularly cleaned. She extended her hand and stroked the surface his name was imprinted on.Tears welled up in her eyes. Although a while had passed by, the memories of the kind old man stayed vivid in

An entire week had passed with her being cooped up in the apartment. Landon hadn’t returned up until now. Five days ago, she sent him a message asking for the time of his arrival, and in response to that, couple of hours later, he texted her ‘soon’.Evelyn was desperate about his information, but the words of his rang clear in her mind. He didn’t want any trouble. His voice was cold and stern with no space for discussion.She wasn’t the same as before. In these couple of years, her confidence skyrocketed, and she made a few friends too whom she had to leave behind to move here. She was now well-liked by people and knew how to amuse them.But with Landon, it was different. There was a constant reminder in her head on how she didn’t deserve him. That’s why, she left him no more messages despite her concerns, afraid of being bothersome.Laying on the couch, she stared at the phone, pouting. She searched, but there were no information she could gather from stalking his friends’ social med

When she stepped out of that library building, she saw Hazel getting on to a motorbike. This made Evelyn raise an eyebrow.“What are you looking at? Get on,” Hazel ordered, holding a helmet.Evelyn had reluctance in her eyes while examining the vehicle. Although she never rode a motorbike, she found it to be intriguing. That’s why, she didn’t have aversion to trying out the ride.All she worried about was Hazel not driving it safely enough.That glare of Hazel showed how the taller woman was running of patience. She immediately grabbed the helmet and placed it over her head before securing it. Getting on to the back of the motorbike, she was caught off guard when Hazel started the bike suddenly.A squeal left her mouth as she grabbed on to the material of her clothing tightly.The motorbike went by fast. The cold breeze blew against her face, biting into her skin harshly, but the sensation it brought along was strangely refreshing. This got her to not mind it.Closing her eyes, she en

During the dinner that day, Evelyn was overcome with loneliness. The silence depressed her further, and the show on the television did little to attract her attention. She played with her food, not in the mood to eat it.Because she always had Grandpa Parker or her friends to share meals with, it dissatisfied her to eat alone. Even though weeks had passed, getting used to it was difficult for Evelyn.If only Landon could spend more time with her.She chewed on her fries, finding them to be absolutely tasteless.That’s when, the sound of the door opening reached into her ears, causing her attention to be shifted. A smile formed on her face while watching her husband walk in.“Welcome home,” she greeted, cheerfully. “You are early.”Although her mood had been gloomy from what she endured earlier, Landon’s presence had the ability to take away all that unpleasantness.He pressed on to his temples before sitting down on the couch. Him being in this state caused her to feel distress. Altho

Evelyn’s phone started to ring, and taking it out from her pocket, she checked the name of the caller in her tipsy state. Landon in black letters got her eyes to widen, and she started to choke.Hazel asked, “What’s the matter?”Panic churned her insides as Evelyn replied, “I am done for.”She turned her phone to show Hazel the caller ID before standing up and saying, “Excuse me.”Evelyn walked over to the restroom area. Although the music could still be heard, it was a lot quieter, and clearing her throat, making sure her voice out didn’t come out as slurred, she received the call.“Hello?” she nervously asked.“Where are you?” came the masculine voice from the other side.“Where can I be? Obviously, at home,” she answered.“Oh? Then, why can’t I find you?” The sarcasm was clear in his tone.“You are back?” Evelyn didn’t hide the excitement from her voice. “Weren’t you returning two days later?”“I dealt with the matters early. Now, where are you?” he repeated the question.“That, I
