Loveless [Philidosia]

"Good morning Philip." Theodosia said, smiling at her husband.

Philip gave her a small smile and a nod before walking into the kitchen.

As soon as her husband was out of sight, Theodosia's smile fell. She released a tiny, quiet sigh before forcing her eyes to return to her book. 

She and Philip had been married for almost five years now. They didn't have any children, probably never would. They were hardly ever intimate anymore.

Theodosia pursed her lips, a sad expression coming over her face. She couldn't help but think that she shouldn't listened to her father's advice and warning. He'd told her time and time again to take things slowly with Philip and that not all love lasted forever.

She looked over to the kitchen. Her father had been right. Whatever feelings she'd held for Philip oh-so-long ago were long gone now. But no matter how little love she truly felt for Philip, she couldn't bring herself to tell him.

She felt tears rush up, but she refused to let them fall. She couldn't help but wish she'd just listened to her father. She and Philip had only known each other for little over six months and yet she'd fallen headlong into a loveless marriage.

She hated herself for being unable to return Philip's pure love. She hated that she couldn't provide Philip with a spouse that loved him as much as he loved them.

She muffled a sob and ducked her head.

She was trapped and it was all her fault.
