Chapter Thirty One

　　Eric stretched his hand to the other side of the bed and noticed it was cold and empty. He slowly opened his eyes and Annie was nowhere to be found on her side of the bed.

　　Eric adjusted the duvet and made his way out of the bed. His first stop was the bathroom but Annie was not there. He was about to go downstairs to go look for her when something caught his attention. He heard someone singing; He followed the voice and traced it to their baby’s bedroom where he found Annie sitting on a rocking chair beside the window.

　　He sighed in relief, shut the door quietly behind him and walked towards Annie who had a baby’s blanket wrapped around her shoulders.

　　The baby’s room was quite scanty except for the items Annie's mom bought a few weeks ago and the few items Annie and Eric bought just last week.

　　Eric found himself a chair, placed it in front of Annie and took his seat. He took her hand in his and that was only when she noticed his presence.
