Thinking of the Future
That thought entered my mind and wouldn’t go away. It just made me recall the conversation that we had and how her face seemed to be filled with worry. Unfortunately, I knew that I was the cause of her distress. Even though, she’s supposed to be focusing on recovering, she’s still so worried about me.
“I’m just going to leave it the way it is. It’s probably best to show her smile as it is…” I replied.
“You’re probably right,” Hayden agreed.
“I think her smile is a bit sad because she’s always so worried…” I said softly.
“About you?” Hayden asked softly.
“Huh?” I made a surprised sound. I didn’t realized that I had said that out loud.
“I guess she’s worried about you,” Hayden said, sounding worried too.
“Umm…yeah…” I said hesitantly.
We were silent for a moment as we continued to look at the painting. If only time would stop, then perhaps, I’ll be able to keep her with me for a while longer…
“Well then, I’ll leave you to work on it,” Hayden said.
