Doom of war

Soren

I left Rowan at the hospital, letting the steady rhythm of his breathing reassure me that, for now, he was safe. He needed the rest. And if I stayed any longer, I might've done something stupid, like confess all the things I should've told him before.

So I left.

With the amount of things happening at the same time, he didn't need me to tell him that I destroyed him. I had to keep that for another day and pretend like everything was okay.

The meeting was today and I didn't need hospital filth all over me. If they sense any weakness then they would attack so I didn't need that right now.

Back home, I stepped into the shower, hoping the hot water would wash away the exhaustion clinging to my body. But no amount of scalding heat could remove the weight pressing down on my chest.
