Chapter 75: Struggling with PTSD

Rayla's POV

When I got home for the evening, I was greeted by Brad and he told me he is going away for a couple of weeks to visit his brother Brian. When I heard that, I was a little shocked and surprised as he rarely visited family overseas. I mean his family is here but then again, he is leaving me…. what if something happens to me and no one is here to save me… I didn't want to mention that to Brad to make it sound like I was needy or afraid because I didn't want Brad to think I was still traumatised by what happened.

"Are you sure you'd be alright?" he asked me. "It's ok, I understand Brad… you go and take Rachel and introduce her to her cousins that she hasn't seen growing up." I smiled as we sat at the dinner table talking together as Rachel went to play with her toys or watch tv as me and Brad sat at the table.
