Chapter 260 : Just Because You're Paranoid

Sara

When I woke up the next morning, I felt so much better it was amazing to me. The nausea had passed, and I could feel the warmth of the sun shining through the window. I could have sworn I even heard a bird singing outside. I smiled, eyes not yet open, and reflexively reached for my husband.

Who wasn't there.

I sighed, opening my eyes just to be sure. I remembered that Jaxon had said something about having an early morning meeting, but at the time I wasn't feeling well enough for his words to register. I regretted missing out on last night. I could have had a great time, enjoying the company of my husband and my daughter. But instead I had chosen to worry about silly things that didn't really matter in the grand scheme of things.

I wondered what was wrong with me. Why hadn't I just come down to dinner and joined them, like a normal person? It was as if I had become someone else last night, and I didn't like who that person was one bit.
