His Heart Is Now Elsewhere

I don’t know how long it had been, but the sound ceased in the study.

I walked back to the bedroom, closed the door, and took a shower numbly. Then I wrapped myself in

the blanket.

Not long after, there came a shaking sound from the study just a wall away.

As if on purpose, their antics in the latter half of the night were all against the wall, making noise throughout the night, until it finally came to an end just before dawn.

I kept my eyes open until dawn, and there was no moment I wished more than this, to go back to a time when I couldn’t hear anything.

When the door opened, Elliana was holding a shrimp ready to feed it to the man’s mouth.

She saw me, didn’t stop her actions, and her eyes were filled with a triumphant provocation.

Axel suddenly kicked the chair and stood up, “Honey, wake up.

He held my hand and calmly wrote on the note paper in front of the table, “Elliana came specially in the morning to deliver the documents to me. I saw that she came in a hurry without having breakfast, so I asked her to stay and have breakfast together.”

I nodded and sat down at the table.

in a week. How about celebrating it and then going on a vacation to Aflon,
