After Nightmares

Viola

I had just finished reading the kids a bedtime story and tucked them in bed when I heard Elizabeth’s voice in the lobby. I hurried over to greet her but the smile on my face faded when I saw her being escorted by two male nurses as she frowned in pain.

They took her into the room next to mine and all I kept hearing from the room since they wouldn’t let me in, was her occasional sobbing.

I found Kade in the bar section of his house and he was twirling what I believed to be champagne in a wine glass. I walked up to him and sat beside him. I wasn’t sure if he would talk to me but I knew he would listen.

He always listens to me, even back when we were dating and we fought, I would talk to him but he wouldn’t respond. Then the next day he’d address everything I said the previous day and then apologize to me – even if I was in the wrong.
