Never Fallen In Love (Flash Back)

I was standing outside D's house and was trying to muster up my courage for the last ten minutes to walk inside but I was unable to as the ear-piercing screams echoed from the house, chained my legs to the ground.

I stare at the carriage that stood outside, evidence of Mr. Adam's arrival from the city. A man stood beside it with his head bowed down and hand clasped together in front, probably the coachman. I try to avoid the sound in the background and watch the coachman silently whimper.

Someone bumps into me while they walk inside the house and eventually bringing me back to reality.

I take a deep breath and finally take a step towards the house but my legs felt heavy and shaky and I don't know how much time passed when I finally entered the house.

My lips tremble as I witness my sweet, darling brat sitting emotionless beside Mr. Adam, surrounded by few townies that came for condolence.
