Viola
Everything in Nikolas' room smelled like him. It was a masculine woody scent with a hint of apples. I was ashamed to admit sometimes I closed my eyes and inhaled it in, savoring it.
A whole month passed since I saw him. I didn't know where he was in New York or what he was doing there. He didn't talk to me or ask how I was doing.
That was kind of understandable because I didn't own a phone.
To say I was frustrated was an understatement. I was lucky that I hadn't seen Mother since my wedding day. If she found out my newlywed husband had gone to New York instead of staying with me, she would go crazy.
She already commented about how I was fat. She would only push the narrative further.
"Hey, do you want to go out for coffee with me?" Aurora asked as she poked her head inside my room—Nikolas' room.
