ASTORIA
I placed the bag on the counter as I entered the cabin. The sound of the car was heard yet again as Hector drove off.
It was peaceful here.
I let out a breath and stepped fully in. I closed the door behind me and took off my shoes. I packed couple of clothes because I didn't know how long I was going to stay here. Maybe for few days.
I still had no idea.
I didn't even know how much time Theo will need.
He can take as much space as he wants. I won't pressure him to talk to me. I knew that finding out that there are high chances of completely losing your hearing was more than hard.
Especially now that he was willing to do something about it.
Before doing anything else, I slumped down on the couch and sat there for quite some time. The cabin was neatly cleaned and everything was like brand new.
There was a fireplace on the opposite wall of me and I wanted my eyes over the photo frames that were placed above the fireplace.
It was little Theo with his dad, and with his what I assume his mom. Then there were pictures of him playing piano as a kid and holding awards from school.
It was mainly him with his parents or only with his dad.
A smile touched my lips at the little kid who looked more than happy and excited on all of the photos. He seemed like a really cheerful child.
After I was done observing everything around me, I picked up my luggage and chose some more comfortable clothes to wear. When I changed, I walked outside on the balcony and took a deep breath.
The river was right at the bottom since the cabin was built directly on the edge. Tall trees surrounded the house and my mid immediately went to Theo.
He needed me right now the most but I knew that he also needed some space and time to think things through.
All I wanted was to hug him and comfort him but I needed to be patient with him. I have fallen head over heels for my husband and I'll do anything to make him feel safe and loved.
I knew that whatever he said earlier, he didn't mean.
Whatever he said about the divorce was in the heat of the moment. That's why I decided to step away and let him be alone for a while.
