Was He Here?

The light from Terence's bedroom was off, so he must be sleeping.

Standing in front of his bedroom, Esther took a deep breath and pushed the door.

She was surprised that the door wasn't locked, so she poked her head through and looked around. Terence wasn't in the room.

He was not on the sofa, not on bed, and not in the bathroom since the light was off.

Maybe he was in the inner room.

She hesitated and squeezed through the door and walked to the inner room quietly.

Except for last time she accidentally got into this place before she married him, this was the first time she came here and she was uninvited. She was so nervous and was walking on eggshells.

In the dim light from outside the window, she could tell that it was a study room. But the light was off, so he wouldn't be there either.

It seemed that Terence was not here. Perhaps he hadn't returned home yet.
