chapter 9

It was the third time she ignored Nick's phonecalls. At every interval, she would catch the stare of all of them, silently urging her to pick the call. She once again rejected it wondering if he would ever stop calling.

When she thought it was all over, with every one resuming their action of eating breakfast, she received a text. She froze as the music of her phone sounded in the dining room. Meeting the eyes of her husband who had long ago lost appetite, she forced a smile muttering an apology before checking what the message was all about.

'Since you refused to speak to me, I'll come to you and don't try to stop me!'

She quickly excused herself from the dining table dialing his number. As soon as it rang, he rejected it. She sent the call again and he did the same thing. She thought for a second before deciding to text him.

'Don't come over Nick, we can talk later okay? I'll call you.'

She was very fortunate today that Kara wasn't present or she wouldn't have heard the last of it.
