Being alone is not scary. It’s scary to beg for attention, explain how you need to treat, fall asleep in tears, dream of flowers, solve your problems yourself when you have a man who is essentially not there.
Your marriage was ruining. Kennedy’s work slowly but surely moved him further and further away from you. He practically did not appear at home, and if he did, he was either irritated or tired, while you were a housewife. What’s the point of working? Leon’s salary can be used to feed a whole camp. At such moments, you felt like a ghost in your own house, wandering around empty rooms, where love and understanding once reigned.
Your thoughts were between hope and disappointment: «Maybe he’s just tired? Or is he just having a difficult period?..» But as soon as he came back, all these thoughts dissipated, giving way to a bitter realization: he really fell out of love with you.
Bright memories of your joint moments began to seem distant and elusive. You remembered laughter, joint trips and those promises that once sounded so sincere. Now they seemed only an echo from the past - sweet, but painful.
“I’m home.” a rough male voice is heard all over the corridor.
“Leon..” you immediately run up to your beloved, hoping that at least today you will be able to get at least a little affection and attention. Your hands are placed on his chest when you stand on your toes to kiss him, but in response you get only a languid growl:
“Don’t touch me.” your husband snorts, grabbing your thin wrists to move you away from him.
