Chapter 73

• Her eyes were focused on the screen displayed, but her mind was miles away. How would living alone with 'my husband' be. I was finding the whole arrangement so weird. Part of her knew for sure it wouldn't work, but part of her wanted to give it a try. Rehab in China... It sounded like such a far-fetched deal. She thought of running it by James but she knew he'd refuse without a second thought so honestly, this was a decision she has to make on her own.
• She glanced at Lucas wondering if he had gone silent all of a sudden just to see he'd fallen asleep. He looked like a different person asleep. Someone angelic, incapable of hurting someone's feelings and yet here they are. A sharp pang of pain pierced through her c.h.e.s.t and she shook her head wondering where those thoughts and feelings came from. She guesses the memories were trying hard to break free. Maybe she should also take a nap. She turned down the volume and lay back on the bed shutting her eyes.
• It was a miracle how fast she could fall asleep honestly. She lazily opened her eyes checking outside the window. It seemed to be a bit past lunchtime. She glanced around the room and no one was in.
