*Lin's POV*
Gone. Within seconds, that precious life was gone. I wasn't sure of what I felt. But I knew that I felt like a part of me was taken away.
It's been weeks, and Pippa hasn't spoken a word. She spends hours in our bedroom, or hours in the nursery. She doesn't think I can hear, but I know she silently sobs when she's alone.
Sebastian's notice the change, and he can't make sense of it. Everyday, he draws a picture for Pippa, hoping to get a smile. She takes it and hugs him. That's all.
I can't manage to get her to look at me. She looks down or in the opposite direction.
I just want a sign. A sign of life. A sign of knowing that my wife is still in there somewhere.
I flew her parents in hoping for a smile.
I only got my hand held. She's distancing herself. All I want is to hold her and tell her it'll be okay.. but I can't sleep in the same bed as her.
When I lay in bed with her, she gets up or sleeps in the chair. I've resulted to the couch.
I'm doing everything I can, but, it's no use... she's gone and I don't know what to do.
Her family, friends, and co workers stop by on a daily basis to try to cheer her up.
They bring plants, flowers, cards, and chocolates.
She manages to give them small smilies that quickly fade.
*few days later*
I think back to 'Hamilton' and that's when an idea hits me.
'It's Quiet Uptown'
Maybe if I play that on piano, it would spark something inside of her and I could get her to talk.
I head to the piano and start playing the song.
Soon after, I see her walk into the room and sit besides me at the piano bench.
"Look at where we are. Look at where we started. I know I don't deserve you Eliza, but hear me out, that would be enough. I don't pretend to know, the challenges we're facing, I know there's no replacing what we've lost, and you need time. But I'm not afraid, I know who I married."
She looked at me and I could see tears forming in her eyes, that only made me begin to cry too.
After playing some more, a soft voice spoke.
'It's quiet uptown..."
She let me inside, I felt her lean into my side and I pulled her into the tightest hug.
It really was quiet uptown, and we never liked the quiet before.
*ooo, three updates again! Hope y'all enjoy. -Matthew*
