The Third Son

Lucas woke up early in the morning and went through the motions as he normally did. He was going to start work at the company today and was feeling some excitement for it. He had talked to Jen the previous night and noticed that her eyes were slightly puffy on the video call.

She had obviously tried to cover them up by wearing her glasses, but he still noticed. So, he did not talk about it because he felt that she would start crying again, so he pretended not to notice.

He only talked to Alex later and found out she had cried herself to sleep and that was her she found her when she went to check on her later that day.

He also missed hugging her soft body to sleep and teasing her, even though it's barely been two days. But life must go on, otherwise, he won't be able to go back to her fast enough.
