AFTER THE FUNERAL

(Present, Audra's POV.)

I was restless for the rest of the afternoon after the funeral and Robb's departure.

Probably because of the pain of saying the last goodbye to my mother the break-up still seemed unreal. And it also helped that it felt like the inevitable choice after our talk in the hotel.

It was all upside down.

I'm on the other side of the country, I left my house, my boyfriend and I'm living in my childhood home with the ex-boyfriend who broke my heart because it's my mother's deathbed wish. If someone had told me this a few days ago, I'd say it was something out of a movie...

Chris had barely spoken two words to me after the people went home, almost like he was trying to avoid me, though, to be fair, I wanted to be alone too.
