I Think You are Gone

Cedric's black eyes were discernible. She did not sleep well last night, and because she was beaten yesterday, her entire face was swollen. It was like adding new injuries to the old, so she looked extremely haggard.

"What are you doing, Isabella?"

Cedric sat at the table, staring at Isabella from a distance. "What did you go?"

Isabella was startled by Cedric's behavior. "I went to buy eggs. I want to make something new for you."

"I'm sorry. Did I disturb you when I opened the door?" she apologized.

"No..."

Cedric rubbed his eyes and propped up his forehead with his hand as if he was really tired. "It's nothing. I just thought..."

Isabella felt that Cedric was in a bad shape and could not help but ask, "What did you think?"

Cedric lowered his eyes and remained silent for a while. "I thought you left without saying goodbye."

Isabella was stunned. "Cedric ... how could I do that to you? If I were to leave, I would tell you first."

"Yes."
