Chapter ３０

He looked to where I was pointing, walked over to it, and unplugged it.

“Thanks, babe.” He walked back over to me and kissed my head. “I'll be back in a minute.”

I tried to listen in to find out what he was up to, but I couldn’t hear from that distance. I stood up and crept slowly towards the bathroom door, but when I got halfway across the room, I heard him turn on the shower. I huffed as I threw my arms in the air.

What the hell's going on? Why's he being so weird?

I had one of my headaches coming on, so left to go and get some water and painkillers from downstairs. I walked along the landing towards the stairs. Once I reached the top of the stairs, I could see that there was a light on downstairs.
