Genesis.

When Malcolm finally came back home, I was wide awake.

I couldn't sleep.

My initial plan was to talk to him about what happened this afternoon but I backed out.

"You were waiting on me? "Malcolm asked me and gave me a kiss.

I was sitting up on our bed like I was waiting for him.

However, I was just too guilty to sleep this time around.

I don't recall feeling like this when Caesar and I made love.

Was it because Zala knew this time?

"Yah I was waiting on you. "I lied. "How was work? "I added to ask.

"Good. Not too bad...... Caesar quit. Did he talk to you about it? "Malcolm asked me as he got out of his suit.

The mentioning of Caesar made me take a hard swallow.

I felt as though Malcolm could read my face.

"No actually. He quit today? "I asked Malcolm.

"Yah. At 4pm. "He answered me. "I didn't really ask why because I was busy and I thought he'd tell you. I just handed him his last cheque and that was it. "Malcolm told me.
