Chapter 23 COME SOON, PLEASE

I hold my breath as I could sense him breathing heavily, I don’t know why he is not saying anything, neither I am able to say a thing. The silence between us seems so comforting because it's the indication of his presence in my life even if he doesn’t speak at least I know he is with me.

“How are you?” Andrew finally speaks after It felt like an eternity to me.

“I… I… am fine…” I stutter nervously. “How are you?” I ask back, “Good.” His reply makes me a little unhappy but still, I try to not focus on it.

“Are you with Ann?” He asks and I shake my head, “No.”

“Oh… so then…” He pauses for a moment, thinking or maybe hesitating. “Why did you contact me?” He asks and I frown badly, “Do I need a reason to contact my husband?” I ask him back, displeased.

“No, you don’t.” He replies in a firm tone and I am glad at least he is not denying our marriage.
