Intense cravings

We got home in the evening and the rest of the ride home was rather silent. This was not like the many times when Gerard would just leave because he couldn't go anywhere since we were trapped together in the car.

After we got home, he opened the door for me and we walked into the apartment like silent couples.

I could tell that there was something different about the way Gerard looked. He looked slightly nervous and I couldn't understand why.

"I'll just go and take a shower." I excused myself and he nodded.

Gerard went to his study after Ayla had gone to the shower. He sat at his desk and stared at a mobile phone for a long time while his fingers made a nervous sound on the desk.

He deciphered calling someone about the issues he was facing but wasn't sure if it was a good idea or not.

After contemplating much, he picked up the phone a dialled the number which was not saved on his phone.
