''…...''
Not a word came from Calla as her gaze remained on Vincent's. His words had already clouded her thoughts, thrusting her back to glimpses of her life after the accident.
Hard?
''Yes…it was…'' Following the momentary silence, Calla gave a reply, her gaze lowering down to the steamy mug of hot cocoa on her lap. The white marshmallows floating on the chocolate liquid reflected in her eyes, but her mind wasn't focused on them.
Rather, it was on the word 'hard'
Was that word suitable to describe the journey that she had been forced to embark on after the accident?
No…Calla felt it wasn't.
Her life after her twin sister's death wasn't just hard. It was difficult, tough, challenging…..and scary. There were many synonyms to the word 'hard' but Calla felt these four words were the best to describe her life after the tragic incident, especially the word 'scary.'
She had been scared.
She had been really scared.
