Chapter 84

Me: Baby I think we should head to the Maldives for our year anniversary. What do you think?

Me: How’s the shooting going today? I miss you.

Me: Hello, if you happen to see my wife please let her know that I love her and I have been trying to contact her for the past few hours. Thanks

Yep, I sounded like a total sap but I couldn’t help myself. I had been texting my wife non-stop since I got up but she hadn’t been responding. This was the last day of shooting and they were doing a lot. I was sure that she would get back to me when she could but I hated not being able to speak with her.

I was missing her like crazy but at least now the days had ticked by fairly quickly and to my surprise, it was all thanks to my sister-in-law.

Over the last few weeks, we had gotten closer. And as strange as it was to say I actually enjoyed her company and she was less annoying than usual which was a first.

She made the house feel less empty while Adie was gone.

If you had told me six months ago that I would be civil with Corinna I would have laughed in your face. Corinna and I were like oil and water.

But I had learned more about her in these last two weeks than I had in all the years I had known her. And I had to admit that she wasn’t half bad at all. She was a decent person when she wanted to be.

I stared at my screen again, willing my wife to reply but deciding that I would likely not get a reply out of her any time

I sighed and hopped out of the bed. I had been contemplating heading to the gym and I think this was the exact sign that I was waiting for. At least it would take my mind off Adie for the time being and I could focus on other things.

I typed in a message just to let her know where I will be.

Me: Going to the gym, baby, love you.

I grabbed my bag and headed out of the house.
