A difficult talk (3)

Aiden took a deep breath and scolded himself. Why is he acting like an immature jerk, when Sarah is in distress? It's obvious that she is upset by this situation, and instead of supporting her, he ended up acting out. He knows that Sarah did everything she could to keep him safe and that she shared this information because she trusts him… and because she needs him.

He told himself to stop sulking. 'Get yourself together, and be the rock that Sarah needs right now...'

Aiden got out of the bathroom and he saw on the floor a half-opened box with some black fabric hanging out of it. The second box is also on the floor next to it, and the letter and the envelope are also scattered nearby. It's obvious that Sarah threw them on the ground; in anger, probably.

His heart cracked at the sight of Sarah who is curled up on the bed. He could not see her face, but he hoped that those shoulder-shivers are not because she is crying.
