Chapter 94

“You are not here.” Cillian said, and Fiona turned to find his eyes and a few others in the room on her.

Her hand came up to rub at her forehead, and she couldn’t even remember what they were talking about before she wandered away with her thought.

“You seem too tired to hear anything we are saying here.” He pointed out, and his eyes showed his concern. “Meeting dismissed,” he said to the others seated, and they rose to their feet and exited the room, leaving both of them alone.

Cillian rose from his seat and towards her, and she stared at him silently. “What is wrong?” he asked, but she gave no response to him. “I know I make up excuses enough for you, and it’s always been for a good cause, but you have to tell me what is going on, so I do not feel as if this is a lost cause.”

She felt guilty; they had made no progress in the last two meetings because she had either zoned out of the meeting or forgotten her speech mid-sentence. Cillian had been an amazing boss and partner and covered up for her every time it happened, like now. There was so much progress to be made, and she wasn’t helping.

She couldn’t stay home because she feared Julian would return, and when she returned home, she stayed awake thinking about what to do or say the next time she ran into him. This gave her less sleep and helped her focus the next day. All this started after he came to her house, and she didn’t know how to stop it.

“I am sorry.”

“You do not have to apologise, but you need to explain.” Cillian replied, and his hand came up to stroke her face tenderly. “Can you do that?”

She would try her best.

“I can’t stop thinking about him,” she revealed in a small voice.

He pulled his hand away from her face, and she immediately felt cold. “I will assume that the ‘him’ is your husband.” He said this, and his eyes betrayed his attempt to stay calm and composed.

She nodded. “Yes, since he came back. I have been thinking about him, wanting to know what he wants, but I cannot figure it out. I know I wanted him at some point in the last three months, but now I wish he didn’t come back; I wish he had stayed away.” She didn’t tell Cillian everything that happened because he was not in the place to know, but she thought this was enough for him.

“You do not want to go back to him,” he said, and their eyes locked.
