If only he had showneven the slightest bit of affection, maybe (ouldn't feel so completely broken.

I sighed and took the wedding photo from the bedside table. I didn't want to look at it anymore, so I placed it into the drawer and shut it, hoping to leave the past behind, Footsteps pulledfrom my thoughts, and I looked up to see Sean standing behind me, freshly showered. He looked the sas always-calm, composed, distant.

"Cleaning up already?" he asked, his voice flat, his gaze fixed on me. In a hurry?" "Once Christina moves in, she won't want to see this," I said, trying to sound indifferent. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but after a beat, all he said was, "I'll sleep in the study tonight." And just like that, he was gone, leavingstanding in the emptiness of the room. The alarm blared, draggingfrom a restless sleep. Groggily, I pressed my hand to my forehead, wincing at the dull ache pounding there.

Sean was leaning against the car, wearing nothing but a thin shirt, holding a cigarette between his fingers. He looked exhausted- his stubble unshaven, his eyes tired and dark.

After a long beat, he finally spoke.

How about you? He flicked the cigarette away, his eyes locking onto mine. "Yeals, prefly well, I nodded, though I could see the dark circles under his eyes and the tension in his face.
