Sensing my shock, Derek smiled, but somehow I started to feel uneasy at his smile.
“I know it’s surprising, take your time, Amy,
This time I’m not leaving nor will I let you go.”
He spoke in soft determination, completely opposite to his nature, stunning me more.
Tilting my head away from him, I tried to give him the message that he is now unwelcome in my life.
In response to it, nothing came, just a few steps and then Derek took back his place at the chair while holding my hand in his embrace again.
SIGH

“Where’s Tom?”
The next day as soon as my mother appeared and greeted me with her motherly love, I asked about Tom curiously.
It’s been ten days since I went into a coma and Tom didn’t arrive to see me, how could that be possible?
“He was taken under custody regarding those model’s issues, I don’t think he would be able to return soon.”
My mother’s words erupted the worry in my heart.
“I want to talk to him.” I requested and my mother shook her head.
