She waited for Adam to give her some hope even if he wouldn’t apologize. To say that he loved her and he wanted her back. To say that he was coming home so they could discuss what had happened.
“Adam, did you hear me. I want to—”
He spoke with a cold controlled voice, “As you wish.”
The phone slipped out of her hand and crashed to the floor.
Jade opened the door and placed the umbrella at the side. She stepped into the living room shivering as she shook off the droplets of water on her skin. The rain had been unexpected but she'd been prepared for her trip to the doctor. Mostly.
What she was not prepared for, was to see Adam seated in the living room, staring at the blank television. She decided to ignore him and walk straight to the kitchen to prepare herself a cup of tea.
As she walked past him, he grabbed her hand and pulled her to him.
“Where were you?” He asked, without any indication of an emotion.
