Chapter 20.

Yesterday was a terrible day, I don't think I can get that image out of my head. I could hardly sleep, so Joseph and I slept together.

Since that time, he hasn't tried to touch me again, and I feel offended by it. I want him to touch me, but he refuses to do so as not to “pressure me” and we just sleep in each other's arms.

My mind feels confused, does he not want me anymore? Did he decide to stop loving me? Just thinking about it hurts.

—Juliette—he says, pulling me out of my thoughts, he frowns—Are you okay? You have been distracted.

I'm frustrated not having sex, that's what I meant.

I deny—I'm stunned by what happened yesterday—I lie.—Have you talked to Damian?

—Only he has sent me Blake is very scared. He has not wanted to talk to anyone.

Who wouldn't be? She was attacked.

—Not even with her husband?

—No, she really is afraid of anyone who gets close to her. At the moment we won’t be able to visit her, let’s just let her recover—she says taking off her shirt.
