My heart sank at the sight of my beautiful wife as she slept away her sorrows. Alena had always been petite but ever since we lost Marco, she had been losing more weight. She skipped her meals, spent most of her time staring out the window and deep in her thoughts. My wife was always full of light, wherever she went..
Yet, all I wanted now was to wish for her peace.
The first couple of nights were rough for her as she kept having nightmares and ever since then, I had spent my nights. staring at her, watching her sleep instead of falling asleep beside her. Just incase she needed someone if she woke up.
I couldn't sleep even if I wanted to; the pain was too much to bear but Alena's situation was worse than mine, she needed the support more than me, she could cry her heart out and all I had to do was be there to help her heal. I had convinced myself to never cry in front of her right now.
Whenever felt the urge to cry, I had locked myself in the bathroom. It would take at least thirty-minutes for me to feel calm and kept on the pretence.
Despite the devastating news, I had never blamed Alena for what happened. It wasn't her fault-as a matter of fact had blamed myself more than anyone else. If I had taken better care of her, maybe we wouldn't be in this situation.

As much as I hated that, I needed to give her some time.
A tear had slipped my eyes and I quickly wiped it away, not wanting to succumb to the sadness.
Just like that, I saw my wife looking at me.
Neither of us said a word as we stared at each other. Her stare was empty and she had a straight face, leaving me awkward in my own spot-what was I supposed to say or do? Usually, it was normal for me to kiss her and wrap her around my arms but now, I needed to keep reminding myself not to invade her space
"I'm sorry if I woke you," my voice sounded more like a whisper
However, it felt loud. Maybe, just maybe, it was too quiet.
She didn't move. She didn't blink.
"Alena... "I breathed, slightly pulling her hand closer towards me but she pulled away.
It was unusual for her to pull away, yet she did it willingly. It was the closest I had been with my wife, feeling the warmth of her skin but it went away just like that.
