Morning After

As the light from the morning sun seeped in through the gap between the curtains, Anna who lay on the bed, squinted her eyes before turning over with her back on the bed as she put her hand on her forehead.

Slowly, her lashes fluttered open. Her hair was in a big mess, courtesy of last night's entanglement with Roy in the sheets.

Speaking of the man, Anna sat up and looked towards her right with her half-open eyes and saw the empty space.

'Where did he go to?' she thought as a big frown etched deep on her brows. After last night's deep intimacy, she was expecting her husband to be lying next to her when she woke up, but here she was alone.

Anna was upset, especially when she reached out to pat the empty side Roy had slept on. It wasn't even warm, which meant that it had been a while since he got up.

A thought crossed her mind in the middle of that misery. Has he gotten what he wanted and left?
