As Esther expected, Terence did not sleep in the master bedroom tonight.
When Esther woke up the next day, she took several minutes to observe this new environment, then turned to look at the other side of the big bed where Terence should have slept on was now neat and clean, without the slightest folds.
As expected, Terence slept in the study. After realizing this, Esther was suddenly struck with such a sense of loss. She wondered if Terence was that unwilling to sleep with her. After all, he would rather sleep in the small bed in the study room than the big one in the master bedroom.
She shook her head and reminded herself not to think about anything disappointing!
Sitting up on the bed, she picked up her phone. After glancing at the time on the screen, she was quite surprised to see that it was already eight o'clock.
She quickly got off the bed and walked barefoot to the study, only to find the quilt was folded neatly. However, Terence had already left.
