Chapter 27 The Leaving

MARINA

I feel around before I open my eyes. I don't want to see him leave.

I want to wake up when he's gone, that he's leaving. My thoughts held as someone knocked on the door and immediately opened my eyes as I heard Adam's mother's voice.

"Marina, are you awake? Can I come in?" she asked and I hurried to my bed and noticed that Adam was gone. There was a hidden pain in my heart but I didn't want to burst into tears.

"Just a moment," I replied and immediately got dressed

I grip the doorknob and I greet my morning.

"I'm sorry and I've been a while," I apologized and she just waved it.

"That's all right, I know," she continued to say but just dismissed it and laughed heartily.

"Did you have a good sleep?" she asked and I nodded my head.

She walks through the balcony and gives me a gesture to follow her and I instantly walk into her direction.
