I looked around the house as we entered, and what I noticed was that all traces of Mum had been long eliminated, he had erased her existence from this house. I couldn't believe this was the first time I was just noticing this. There was a particular painting Mum and I had done when I was about ten years old. We had spent all day working on that painting and I remembered that Dad had even joined us to paint a portion of the portrait we were walking on the day he came back from his office. That memory remains one of my favourite childhood memories, it had been a beautiful day, that very day. Even though Dad was exhausted from working all day, when I asked him to join us and paint, he merely smiled at me, dropped his briefcase and took off his suit jacket before joining us on the veranda where we did the painting that day.This was the first time I noticed that the painting was no longer on the wall where we had hung it, we had decided to frame it, well, it was more like I begged them

The drive to the storage facility took quite some time. Throughout our entire drive there, I was feeling all different sorts of emotions, my mind was spiralling all over the place and I was barely holding on at this point. Ethan, who was driving by my side, looked calm and composed as well. I could tell with the ease he was using to turn the steering wheel but I could also see that he was nervous just like I was too. How did I know? Ethan also had a tell, you could see him scratching his eyebrows now and then, and then there was the continuous tapping of his left thumb and index on the steering wheel almost every single second. He was very nervous, he was just trying to stay strong for me and I was happy he was doing that for me, I was all of a sudden reminded of what he had said in the car when we were going to Dad's house, I was referring to what he had said about him being in love with me. I had been thinking about it over and over again, although I shifted it to the back of my

Where did we go wrong? I wondered. "We'll put this in the keep pile," I told him and took the album out of his hands when we were done going through them. Ethan noticed that I wasn't being myself as I returned to sorting the stuff out, my hands were shaking and my moves were disoriented, he then came to my side and took the basket I was holding out of my hands. "Calm down Kate." He told me, looked me in the eyes and brought me in for a hug, rubbing soothing circles all over my back. I buried my face deep into his chest and inhaled his scent, which always seemed to calm me down whenever it looked like the world was falling apart."I can't even begin to imagine just how difficult this must be for you, but you have to stay strong and pull through, not because of me but rather because of your mum. You're doing this for her right?" He asked and I nodded. "Well you have to make her proud to the end, that's what she would have wanted and I know she's not here right now but what I do know

As soon as we got back into the car, Ethan's phone rang, he pulled it out of his pocket, looked at the caller ID and rejected the call. Strange. Ethan never rejects phone calls. That was one of the things I had noticed about him, even if it was an unknown caller, he would still pick up it and talk to the person to find out who it was and if it was someone he didn't want to talk to, he would just let it continue to ring but reject a phone call, this was the first that I was seeing. "You should take your calls, it might have been important." I started casually, reaching to my side and strapping my seatbelt on. "There's no need, it's not an important call." He brushed my sentence off. So he knew who was calling, he just decided not to pick up the call. I also didn't say anything again and we began the drive back to the city. Ten minutes later, my mind was still very bothered and there was an unsettling feeling that was surrounding me, why? Because Ethan had rejected two more phone c

"What do you want me to do then? Get on my knees and ask you for forgiveness. Is that what you want?" I asked him and in a way, I was only making matters worse for myself but I couldn't even realize this. "You know what? Just forget about it, this is hopeless." He told me and resigned to fate. When those words left his mouth, something in my heart dropped but I refused to back down and apologized, I refused to be intimidated, so instead of me to quiet down and reflect on what I had done wrong in the ten minutes we had left to get to Liam's apartment, I did the opposite and continue to spit fire at him."Excuse you? You know, you're right, this is truly hopeless. If you hadn't been such a diva in the first place we wouldn't be dealing with this right now." I told him and he gripped the steering wheel tighter, that was his tell, he was trying to control his anger. To my utmost surprise, Ethan didn't say anything, his jaw was clenched and his hands which he was using to grip the steer
