I found her sleeping in our son's room. I kissed them both before covering them fully and going to my suite. After taking a shower, I lay on the bed, trying to sleep, however, it was impossible to sleep. I was missing Nalya next to me.
'I need some time, ' she croaked, her eyes filling with tears. I felt earlier how my breath and kisses startled her, she never reacted like that to me.
I wanted to oppose her request because I didn't want her away from me. I wanted to be there for her, always.
