The Place They Lost

As she walked through those doors as a bride, crying alone in those hallways, waiting for Damien at night, begging him to choose her, packing her things after the divorce, the pain obviously lived here .“You okay”?. Damien asked softly because he noticed he was quiet and her mood changed as he watched her carefully.“No. But am I trying”. She answered honestly, drawing the fresh in and out slowly.That answer struck him harder.They both walked towards the entrance slowly, they weren't touching, they were just there. Then the front door opened, as Sophia stepped inside for the first time in months, silence greeted her.The house felt….. emptier, not physically empty but emotionally, like warmth had left it a long time ago.She moved her eyes slowly across the room, the staircase, the marble floors, the large windows; it was as if they were ghosts everywhere.“I hate this place after you left”. Damien said, his voice was quiet. He was standing behind her.“You didn't seem to”.She th

The preserved room

Sophia had already thought to herself that she wouldn't stay long. This was what was in her mind, that they would just look around for a brief minute, talk briefly and then Damien would drive her back to her father's house before the emotions of being here became too overwhelming.It looked simple,safe, temporary but somehow neither of them moved toward the door.The silence inside the mansion had changed and it no longer felt cold, it felt like something familiar like a place waiting to become something again.“Come with me”. Damien said as he stepped away first.Sophia looked at him carefully.“To where”? She asked softly.“You will see”.Normally, she would have refused immediately but today she is just curious.She followed him upstairs quietly, each step pulling memories from places she had tried hard to bury, the loneliness, tears, late nights, constant abuse, argument but also soft mornings, quiet moments that once meant everything and laughter.They reached the second hallway.

Something They Built Newly

The nursery was the beginning of something neither of them had expected. They never even accepted reconciliation yet but it was just only cooperation and strangely that even felt more intimate.Three days later, Sophia stood in the middle of the room, she crossed her arms lightly over her chest as Damien struggled with the paint samples spread across the floor.“Why do you dislike all the colors?. You don't even like any of them”. He asked.“I dislike most of them because the colors are not appealing.” She replied softly, frowning her face a little.“That's not encouraging. I thought you would like them”.“That looks depressing. Not good at all”. She said,pointing at one of the samples.“It's beige”.“It looks like sadness, I hate it”.Damien stared at the color cards not sure why she hated most of the colors. His face looks confusing because he is sure of the best color to choose himself.“How do you know a color that looks emotionally exhausted and the one that looks emotionally bea

Their First Night Back

Sophia bursted into another round of laughter to the extent she had to hold her stomach because it hurt. Damien straightened immediately.“Hey, be careful”. He warned, he was deeply concerned and the concern came instantly. Sophia noticed again.“I am okay, I am fine”. She said, reassuring him softly.But still, Damien walked over to her anyway and he rested his hand carefully against her back as he helped her sit comfortably.“You overdo it when you laugh”.“That is not medically proven”.“It is now”.This gesture felt tender and it lingered between them because sometimes this version of him still felt unfamiliar. She felt his attentiveness, his gentleness, his present. It wasn't cold or distant.Sophia had to quietly look at him as he crouched beside her.“You really looked scared all the time now”. Sophia said quietly.“Yes”. He said as he glanced at her immediately. He didn't hesitate or felt prideful, he was just being honest.“What are you scared of?..... about me?”.“Yeah. Of c

What Healing felt like

She looked at him immediately, she could feel the pain in her chest tightened immediately at how that sounded. There was no demands, no manipulation, no pressure it was just an honest concern and somehow that made saying yes even harder because she have never expected this new Damien to respond this way and part of her still expected the old Damien to eventually returned, the manipulator one, the selfish one, the impatient, the one who only gave attention when it benefitted him but everyday this new version of him is steady, honest, concerns, patient and he have been staying consistent. And Sophia is not fully aware of this new version or not used to this version and she no longer knows what to do with it.Okie”. She finally agreed. Damien's face showed relief instantly that she almost missed it.“Okie”?. He asked politely again just to be sure.“Just for tonight”. She nodded once.“Of course”. He smiled slightly.An hour later, Sophia went to their old bedroom, she stood frozen sta

What Healing felt like

Sophia woke up peacefully, warm. She felt softer than she had ever felt before. She woke up feeling the reflection of the sunlight through the windows. For a few quiet moments, she just lay there, staring at the ceiling while the morning breeze moved the curtains gently. She didn't have any nightmares, no panicking, no loneliness crushing her chest, for the first time ever she just felt calm, relaxed and that feelings somehow felt unfamiliar. Then she noticed the warmth coming from beside her, it was Damien still fast asleep.At some point during the night, he too had fallen asleep beside her on top of the blankets. He spread one arm loosely across the bed towards her without touching her, even in his sleep, he still was very careful not to overstep. The old Damien would have overstepped, pulled her closer possessively like closeness belonged to him, like he owned her automatically.But this Damien is patient, waited even unconsciously carefully and this Terrie's her that it made her

Their First Real Arguement

Then softly, she could feel her breathing catching up because obviously she knew he was telling the truth, he was just honest about the truth, he wasn't expecting anything in return and that is just real love, this kind he never knew how to give before.Sophia had to look away because she is filled with emotions all over again.“You're saying things that are making this difficult”. She said, shaking her head softly.“I mean it”. He smiled softly.“I know”.Damien stepped closer again, closer that they both could feel each other's warmth.Then without thinking, Sophia leaned gently against him too, she wasn't dramatic about it nor emotional, it was just natural.Damien stood where he was, he didn't hesitate nor look away he let her decide. Gently he wrapped his arms around her waist slowly, giving her enough time to pull away but she didn't. Instead she rested her head against his chest and closed her eyes. For a moment, Sophia remembers something terrifying that this no longer felt li

Their First Reconcile Ever

“Sophia….”. Damien was confused on what to say next. He didn't know what to say, he just called her softly.“No, don't touch me. You brought her into this house, you put her son in my place, you let me believe I meant nothing to you…..and now you're hiding this from me again”. She cried and cried and cried to the extent her voice trembled.“I know, I swear I wasn't trying to hurt you”.“But you did by not telling me, by not involving me into this matter and now again…… you repeating history!.There was a heavy silence between them, Damien was mute because this is the truth, her words struck him.This is the part nobody talks about when people reconcile, love returning doesn't mean the trauma, the pains will erase, they bleed into the present without warning.“You think I am becoming that man again”?.Sophia didn't reply and her silence was enough because she was hurt and yelling would have done nothing.“I should have told you”. Damien continued, he swallowed hard.“Yes, you should ha

How They Handled Their Moment

“You have not taken dinner”.“What is that”?. She glanced at the cup then back to him.“Tea. I prepared you one.“Should I be worried”?. She asked, smiling softly, raising her eyebrows slightly.“I actually used water”. He replied, smiling back at her.Sophia smiled too, she couldn't control it and that helped ease the tension between them . Damien handled her cup carefully before sitting down beside her.For a moment, neither of them spoke.“I meant what I said earlier”. Damien spoke first.“When”?. Sophia asked, looking at him now.“When I said I was trying ... .I know I can't erase the damage I have caused but I need you to understand something too. You're not the only one who is afraid. I am afraid too because I know I don't deserve complete trust from you anymore. But anytime something goes wrong between us, part of me panics”. He confesses, his voice was soft and lowered.Sophia sat there and she was just listening, she didn't interrupt it either she just stood there. She wrappe

The Night Everything Changed

In the middle of the night, Sophia woke from a sudden sharp pain, so intense that she woke Damien up instantly. She was groaning in pain and she felt another wave of pain struck her, this time it was stronger than the first one. She grasps for breath and holds onto the blankets tightly.“Sophia”!? Damien called, he was scared , when he woke up and saw her in pain. He rushed to her side.“No …..”. Sophia was panicking.“What's wrong”?!. He asked, confused, he was fully awake now.“My baby……my stomach”. Sophia said shakily, her breath was uneven.Damien went mute instantly, it was as if his heart stopped for a second.“We are going to the hospital”. He managed to speak.Damien moved faster and he began to wear his clothes, he grabbed his shoes, keys and wore Sophia some clothes too.Sophia tried standing but another pain hit her, making her nearly pass out.“I got you”. Damien caught her immediately. His voice was shaky and that terrified her more than the pain itself because Damien ha
