Pyotr

I was disturbed by Mary's state. It was clear that she was not taking the situation well, and to be honest, I was relieved by her reaction. I stepped out of the elevator, dialing Margot's number as I made my way to the car.

I had kept my distance from Mary all week after hearing her and Allie confabulating about plans for Simon after our divorce.

The tenor of the conversation was bad enough, and the fact that she revealed our secret to her friend made me even angrier.

But after today it was more than obvious that I couldn't stay that far away, I promised her that I would take care of her while we were married and that's what I intend to do.

I followed the plan I had laid out in my mind, and about twenty minutes later, I was back at the apartment. I heard Libby's elation as soon as I unlocked the door, she jumped on my legs barking as I tried to calm her down. The TV on indicated where Mary was.

I removed my shoes and walked over to the kitchen counter, taking the small indiv

    MaryI stretched with a smile on my face as I woke up next to Peter. It certainly would have been better if Libby hadn't wedged herself between the two of us in bed, but just knowing he was there was enough.Our weekend was amazing, it felt like we were back in St. Lucia. We strolled down the street with Libby, Pyotr preferred to avoid Central Park and I supported his decision, I didn't want to risk meeting the girl he was going out with and she must not be very happy.Despite the stolen caresses and kisses over the weekend, Pyotr and I didn't get to talk about what that meant, we were moving forward slowly, taking our relationship one step at a time. Of course, to everyone, we were married, but at this point we were just enjoying each other's company. Without thinking too much, without forcing things.I felt like we had just started dating, and I was loving the feeling. Hearing the whole story of my husband, my admiration for him only grew, he is the strongest person I know. He w

    MaryPyotr opened the bathroom door, staring at the scene in shock, not knowing what to do." Peter, get me out of here " I shouted " She's crazy.”" What's going on here?”The running water falling on the corgi who was still standing under the shower, growling at me, washed off most of the shampoo. At least she is clean." I went to give her a bath and she didn't like it. Get me out of here, she bit me!”" Why did you go to give her a bath? " He picked up a clean towel." This is my towel! " I complained." We don't have many options at the moment." He rolled his eyes, opening the shower door, holding Libby to prevent her from escaping.He tossed the towel to me, kneeling on the floor, trying to get the rest of the shampoo out of the dog's coat. Great, she doesn't bite him!" Why were you giving her a bath? " he questioned again, turning off the shower." Because she was covered in meringue.”" I'll try one more time, why? " He took a deep breath, doing his best to dry her off." Be

    MaryI was sprawled out in bed, Peter and I had had a tiring week and I headed to bed as soon as I got home on Thursday. Libby kept running away from me. How could she be any more dramatic?It was dawn when I woke up with the feeling that I was being watched. Will he ever stop doing that?" How long have you been there? " I murmured with my eyes still closed." A few minutes," my husband's voice sounded clear; he didn't seem bothered by being caught." Trouble sleeping? " I opened my eyes, staring at him standing in the doorway." A little," he admitted.I moved to the side, making room for him to lie down. I don't know why he doesn't just sleep here all at once. He still has his own room, but this week alone is the third time he's come to mine in the middle of the night." You could just come in and lie down." I sighed, feeling the mattress sink under his weight." I didn't want to wake you.”" I'm a light sleeper, Peter," I moved closer to him, "One of these days you're going to g

    MaryI arrived at the Time Warner Center building in less than half an hour. Ian was waiting for me in the lobby." Mary " He put his arm around my shoulder, giving me a kiss on the cheek " Wow, you look beautiful!”" What do you think you're doing, Ian? " I shot him a cross look, pulling away from him.”Where is everyone?”" Upstairs. I've come to guide you.”" I know the way." I rolled my eyes as he put his arm around my shoulder again. “We have already talked about this, haven't we?”" Yes, we've talked about it, and I told you I'd leave you alone.”He shrugged "That doesn't mean I can't be nice to my friend."" And this is you being nice? " I stared at him as I walked to the elevator." Mary, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but you've lost your place in my heart. I have company today.”" If you have company, what are you doing here? " I pointed as the elevator doors closed." I wasn't in the mood for girl talk," he muttered, "They kept talking about shoes and stuff.”" She and Allie?

    Pyotr " Mary, do we really have to go? " I questioned, finishing getting dressed." Of course," she returned to the bedroom wearing only a black lingerie set. She had her makeup and hair done, but had not yet decided on her clothes. " It's Edgar's birthday.”" Are you sure we can't stay home? " I hugged her from behind, moving her hair out of the way to nibble her neck." Don't start, Rozanov," she laughed, pulling away, "we have to go.”" You should have warned me earlier," I sighed, sitting down on our bed." I forgot. I'm sorry.”She went back to the closet. " Where will it be?”" At Le Bernie," she explained, coming back into the room wearing a burgundy lace set, "It's one of my father's favorite restaurants. How do I look?”" Wonderful" I pulled her onto my lap, "I suppose this isn’t a tribute to your father.”" Not at all," she laughed, nuzzling my neck, "My father won't be able to have any celebrations there for quite some time.”It has been two days since Mary and I decide

    PyotrI am lucky to have her by my side." Rozanov," Omar's voice finally forced me away, "will you release my daughter or will I be forced to have you arrested for indecent exposure?”" Sorry, Mr. Navruz " I smiled politely, turning away from my wife." Good, now I need to have a serious conversation with both of you," he began, pulling out a chair for Elena to sit in." I told you to forget it," Elena glared at her husband." I've been talking to Edgar," Omar accepted a glass of champagne from the waiter, while Mary picked up a canapé." Was the conversation about the size of these things? " She murmured, "I'm going to starve to death until dinner is served.”" He told me that Jacob and Allie intend to have three children and they will start trying soon after the wedding.” The man continued as Mary shoved the canapé into her mouth at once “What do the two of you intend to do about it?”" What do you expect us to do?"

    PyotrThe weeks went by, the strong heat of July gave way to milder weather as August progressed. Almost every weekend we went to Central Park and Mary loved these interactions, especially when they involved her friends. Today will be one of those days." Pete, where's my cap? " Mary called out as I put our things on the bench at the side of the baseball field we occupied in the park." Here," I grabbed the Panthers cap from the bench, tossing it to her, "Aren't you supposed to be a Giants or Jets fan?”" Just because I'm from New York? " She rolled her eyes, tucking the cap back on her head. Mary looked beautiful, wearing jeans, a navy blue shirt, and sneakers." You grew up here.”" I already cheer for the Rangers " she shrugged " that's enough.”" And you also cheer for the Yankees? " I approached her holding the bat." I don't like baseball." She lowered her tone, looking around." So, you like Football and Hockey," I commented as Allie and Matthew came toward us, "but you don't

    Pyotr" He's cute," Mary smiled, sitting down on the bench while the other team took their position." Mary, aren't you going to bat again? " Allie called out." You can go, Allie," Mary shrugged, "You're the only one who hasn't batted yet.”" What have we ever talked about, people throwing balls at me? " You can do it, princess," Jacob assured his girlfriend, handing the bat to her." Did you like him? " I sat down next to Mary as the cat tried to climb over her." Yes," she smiled, "he's dirty and skinny.”" Allie, you have to at least try," Jacob shouted, drawing our attention. Allie winced with every ball thrown her way.Ian hurt his shoulder and was on one of the bases this time, while Paris took the pitching position." It's not hard, you just have to concentrate on the ball," Margot encouraged." Do you think she can do it? " I questioned nonchalantly." At some point," Mary shrugged.But on the next pitch, the girl hit it. It was a great hit, even more so if you add the fact

    Mary I kept alert during dinner, but nothing different happened. Am I becoming paranoid? Do I not know my father well enough anymore? " The most awaited time has come," Omar smiled as the plates were cleared away, "time for dessert.” I frowned as a Red Velvet cake was brought to the table by a waiter my father had hired for the evening. My surprise increased even more when he handed a cake knife with a spatula to Pyotr. " What's going on? " I stammered in confusion. " I thought it was clear that this is a celebratory dinner, Marianne," my father explained as if it were obvious. “Doesn't the cake tell you anything?” " That you've lost your mind and I can have you committed and take over the publishing company? " I tried. " What do I do with this? " My husband whispered to me. " I'm sorry to disappoint you dear, but my sanity is still intact," he smiled, "but it was a good guess.” " Can someone explain it to me? " I asked. " Don't look at me," Ian shrugged, "I've just been inv

    MaryThe next day was the same as the others. Breakfast, walk with Libby in the park, lunch, physical therapy. I was surprised to get a call from my dad inviting us to his house for dinner.This was strange, because he usually took us to some restaurant or something, but I decided not to argue. At the agreed time we went to my parents' house." Why the last minute invitation? " Pyotr asked " Your father usually likes to plan things in advance.”" I don't know, he must be feeling lonely," I yawned. “I just hope he doesn't try to drag us off to some opera or theater or whatever.”" I warn him, you're tired," he assured me, taking me in his arms as we reached the door to the old man's house. He climbed the steps to the front door, setting me down and supporting me so that I could take the few steps to the door and ring the bell.To my surprise, it was Ian who answered, staring at me with a nonchalant look on his face." Hey, you're standing up " he smiled." Can you support her while I

    MarryWe remained silent until we were in the car going back to the apartment." I'm sorry about that, he shouldn't have brought Margot here without consulting you," Pyotr sighed." We got through it," I stared at him, "She had a chance to explain herself, and now we can move on, Peter. We have closed this chapter of our lives.”" Really?”" Pete, I told you I've forgiven you," I pointed out slowly, "Don't you think you need to do the same?”He remained silent, after a quick glance. I knew how much he blamed himself for my condition, but I didn't want him to stay with me out of guilt, but because he loved me." I'm sorry," he finally spoke up, "I... I just hate seeing you like this thing.”" And I hate being like this," I took a deep breath, "but there's not much you can do about it, is there?”" If I had told you... " He looked away." If I hadn't decided to drive at that moment," I retorted, "If I had slowed down, or if I had remembered to buckle up, who knows. If I had…”" Mary…”"

    MaryI awoke feeling the warmth of Pyotr's skin enveloping me, I snuggled into his arms, as that feeling of fullness came over me once again. Every part of my life was whole again.After Peter took me to the terrace yesterday I had no doubt, he is the one I want to spend the rest of my life with, I could never give this up. After I had this certainty, the rest was easier.We enjoyed our evening at home, and after dinner went straight to bed. I outlined Pyotr's face with my fingertips, thinking how lucky I was to have him by my side." What time is it? " he murmured, his eyes still closed." I don't know," I kissed him softly on the lips. Hearing the protests from the other side of the door " But the kitty and Libby didn't like that they slept outside.”" They'll have to get used to it," Pyotr laughed, moving away to look for his cell phone. “I will prepare breakfast.”" If you help me get dressed, we can do it together." I sat up in bed, looking around for my clothes." Help you? Why

She doesn't want to do the exercises," the physiotherapist explained, walking towards me. “Could you…”" Sure," I sighed, walking into the living room.Denise had moved the furniture aside, laying out a mattress on the floor. Mary was lying there, she was panting and covering her eyes with her arm. " What's the matter? " I questioned."I increased the weight on her ankles” The woman indicated as I sat down on the floor beside her." It hurts," Mary whined." How much does she need to do? " I sighed.Every time Denise introduced a new exercise, or increased the weight, I had to intervene to get Mary to do the exercises." Ten," Denise said, "Ten on each leg.”" Anne," I pulled her arm away from her eyes. " Come on, just ten.”" But…”" You can do it, моя девушка¹ " I assured her, caressing her face " Come on.Mary took a deep breath, starting to do

    PyotrIt was the first week of October, Mary had started physical therapy and slowly she was allowing me to get closer.First we were able to have a conversation, then she began to allow me to help her, touch her, and finally we were back to sharing a bed.As promised, I was giving her space, and it seemed to be working. Little by little we were on our way to becoming the couple we were before." Are you ready? " I questioned Mary as I heard the ringing of the doorbell. It was almost time for her physical therapy session and she seemed a bit down today." Sure," she sighed, as I walked to the door." Is everything alright? " I frowned, interrupting my path." It's nothing," as usual, she guided her chair to the window. I hated to see her like this, but according to Denise, her physical therapist, Mary was responding well and would soon be using the walker." You know you can tell me anything, right?”" Answer the door, Pyotr," she said, "Soon Denise will give up and leave, you shoul

    MaryThe sound of the door opening caught my attention. My mother stepped forward to help my husband who came in carrying some bags, Libby and the kitten that were in their transport cage." Sorry for the delay," he smiled, "I thought I'd better come by and get them both at once, I'm sure they'll miss you.”My mother took the groceries to the kitchen, while he released the two from their little prisons. It seemed like a century since that Friday when my perfect life fell apart." He's huge! " I exclaimed as I saw the kitten run towards me and jump into my lap.Libby did the same, but stopped at my feet and whined." How are you feeling? " Pyotr approached." Fine," I assured him, "Can you put her on my lap too?”" That's a start " Pyotr fulfilled my wish, while I stroked Corgi's ears and the kitten nibbled her paw." I'm going home " My mother commented as she approached me " I'll be back tomorrow, okay?”" All right " I smiled." Don't push or rush," she lowered her tone, "Just don't

    MaryAfter a hellish week in that hospital, I was finally able to go home. According to Dr. Clark, the surgery was a success. Slowly the feeling in my legs was returning, although I didn't have the strength to move them, which was a bit painful.I hated going back to the apartment with Pyotr, I wanted to keep as much distance from him as possible. It was hard to have all those conflicting feelings inside me. I loved my husband, I wanted him to be around, I wanted his support. But I couldn't forget what happened. I felt anger towards him. Not for my situation, despite what everybody said, I didn't blame him for that. But I blamed him for our situation, I blamed him for feeling alone so many times, I blamed him for not being able to trust him, I blamed him for not being able to feel his touch without me remembering everything, I blamed him for having that whole fight tarnish the memory of the first time he told me he loved me.How can we get through all this?"

    PyotrI went back to the apartment at night, knowing that I couldn't stay with her while she was in the ICU. I felt lost being in the apartment alone. I went to our room, deciding to take some things to the room on the second floor.It is already Tuesday and I haven't slept properly since Saturday, which means I am exhausted. But I couldn't sleep there alone. We still weren't sure about the success of the surgery, and even if it had been successful, it would take Mary a while to walk again. I fell asleep on the couch around four in the morning.Omar, Elena and I came to the conclusion that it would be better to tell her about the report only when she went to her room, so as not to disturb her recovery. I visited her in the morning, and didn't have much to do for the rest of the day until the next visiting hours, so I decided to go to the publishing company to see how things were going.As soon as the elevator doors opened, Halley stared at me in surprise. Her gaze then turned to conte
