Chapter Thirty Seven

　　Days Later

　　“Good evening Nora.” Eric greeted as he walked into the kitchen with his work clothes on.

　　“Welcome Son.” She smiled at him. “How was your day?”

　　“Stressful.” He answered and reached for a bottle of water in the fridge.

　　“How’s Ben?” He asked after her husband.

　　“He’s fine. I was about going to the guest house to join him before you walked in. Dinner is ready. You just need to warm it up or I can do it for you if you want.” She offered.

　　“Don’t let me stress you, Nora. I’ll sort myself out.”

　　“Maybe now that you are around, Annie will have dinner with you.”

　　“What happened?” Eric asked, confused. “Is she sick again?” He panicked.

　　“I don’t know my Son. She has been in the room since she came back from work. I took dinner to her but she said she was not hungry.”

　　“Thanks. I’ll go check up on her.” He exited the kitchen, then went in search of Annie.
