Get out of self-pity mode (1)

After a long crying session, Sarah and Aiden are on the bed.

They are lying in silence, facing each other, but both of them lowered their gazes in order to avoid their eyes to meet.

She can't make herself look at him. Everything is so fresh, and her emotions are unstable. But this works. Knowing that he is here, next to her, makes her feel better. Sarah hopes that in time these emotional scars heal, and they go back to how they used to be… crazy in love. Right now that feels so far away, almost unreachable.

Sarah told herself not to show her discomfort. She needs to bottle it up, because Aiden is… miserable.
