Regretting the Wife He Threw Away

Blair was hiding something from her.

Noticing Briony's silence, Autumn asked gently, "Ms. Kensington, is something wrong?"

"I'm fine." Briony's voice was steady, almost flat. "Do you often get visitors from outside on this island?"

"Hardly ever," Autumn replied. "We're pretty remote out here no one really has a reason to come."

Briony didn't press further. "I'm a little tired. Would you take me back to my room?"

"Of course."

Autumn led Briony back and helped her settle in.

Briony lay down on the bed and closed her eyes.

Seeing how truly exhausted she was, Autumn quietly pulled the blanket over her and slipped out, shutting the door behind her.

The sound of the door closing echoed in the quiet room.

Briony slowly opened her eyes.

Blindness. A world swallowed by darkness lay before her, leaving her helpless.

Even something as simple as leaving this room on her own was now out of reach.

Her thoughts drifted, unbidden, to her children.

Were they missing their mother? Were they crying for her, scared and confused because she couldn't answer their calls?
