TANNER
Counting my steps and movement as I paced in the sitting room waiting for her arrival.
I was worried and restless. I've been sober for two days and when I might have avoided shutting off my thoughts, sometimes, it gets hard.
But now, my mind is starting to go places that's forbidden. I want out. I need bear. I yearned for it. It's the only thing giving me peace. The only thing keeping me sane.
I heard movements outside, and I knew I would be her. I waited patiently for her to come inside. Glancing at the baby, the child is still sleeping peacefully.
She entered the house and walked closer to me, I notice her face was having mixed feelings. Happiness. Sadness. Fear.
"How was the job hunt?" I asked curtly.
"I got the job." She answered softly, walking to her baby to take a closer look at the little life.
"Good."
