Their car pulled up in front of the hospital building and Rowan noticed Astrid's lost gaze and asked.
"Hey, are you okay? You seem a little distracted."
Astrid hesitated, unsure of how much to share. "I just...I miss Julian, I miss him not being here with me," she said finally. "I feel guilty for having fun without him, guess I am only getting aware of how much he means to me when I haven't been around him for two weeks."
" You have been with him for two weeks," Rowan corrected but she glared at him.
" He hasn't talked to me in two weeks, I miss his voice.. how he spoils me so much and…" her voice cracked at this.
Rowan's expression softened, and he reached out to touch her hand.
"Astrid, Julain isn't weak, he will get well soon, you just have to be patient."
Astrid smiled weakly, nodding her head in acceptance. "Thanks, Rowan," she appreciated again.
