TWENTY EIGHT

~CLAIR~

After spending almost a whole day shopping, going to the SPA and doing other things that Sam wanted, we went back home and parted ways.

I was sitting on the large couch at the backyard pooling staring at the setting sun. Matteo wasn't back from his business conferences yet. I sigh as rest my head on the headrest of the couch.

Something struck in my heart as I realized something. There was one question I was trying to avoid in my marriage.

Will we ever love?

I don't actually know what it feels like to love someone or to fall in love. Back in high school, I had series of crushes but I never acknowledged them. Boys at my college were hot but I never had eyes for them. I never really fancied dating because I didn't want to break my heart.

But now, I really needed true love.

I sighed as I thought about Matteo. It's been kind of weird for me to have this warm fuzzy feeling whenever he looked at me.

When he complements me, my heart soars high and my brain goes off.
