ETHANI avoided home for over a week, mostly because I wasn’t sure how to face Aurora or how to talk about what she saw in my office.Pulling into the driveway in the car Jasper got for me last month, I stepped out quietly and walked into the house. When I found the living room empty, I tiptoed up the stairs, hoping not to alert her that I was home.If I am lucky, I can pick up some fresh clothes and leave without her noticing I came back.I successfully made it to the bedroom, took a shower, packed an overnight bag, then quietly made my way downstairs again… that was when I bumped into her in the dining room, eating.She lifted her head, our eyes meeting for a few seconds before she quietly averted her gaze back to her food.Exhaling heavily, I dropped the overnight bag and joined her at the dining table. Dragging a chair out, I sat down and waited for her to serve me some of the soup she was having.Aurora remained silent, totally ignoring my presence.Frowning, I finally spoke up.
