Chapter Nineteen

The walk home was slow. In part because I didn’t have anything to rush home to. In part because my thoughts bandied back and forth between two Danes. It would have been three, but now, Anders was banned from my thoughts. No longer welcomed in any part of my life, not even my imagination.

Then there was Sabine, strange that I never noticed her before today. Then again, I spent so much energy trying to go unnoticed that I didn’t notice the raven hair that must have been dyed as her eyebrows were a dark shade of brown. It was only today that I picked up the easy-going nature, the way she launched into a conversation with a near stranger.

I told myself not to fall, as I opened the front door to the apartment building. She was not a lifeline in a turbulent sea of emotions. But what if she was? What if God, the universe, the small magical atom in my being, whatever, put her in my life for a reason.

What reason? To show me that I’m not alone? To show that Gregers is not the only one in this city, this country I can turn to? To show that...

I unlocked the front door of the apartment, as I did so many times. Turned the lock, eased the door with my hip as I swung the bags in. Turned around and closed the door, locking it. But I was not alone, someone was in the apartment. Someone was watching me.

Slowly I turned around, my hands gripping the handles of the bags. What if someone was there? What would I do? What could I do? Then my eyes locked onto green eyes.

Green eyes set in a tight face that regarded me with suspicion. In my husband’s gaze, I felt like I was caught in some wrongdoing. Then his eyes fell to the bags and the pinched expression lessened and he looked up at me.

“I thought you would be here,” his voice had an accusatory ring to it.

“I was,” I wanted to walk over to where he sat, where I had slept. “I was home for the last two days,” when he winced, I knew it wasn’t the answer he expected.

Instead of dropping the bags and wrapping my arms around him, whispering how sorry, how wrong, I was, I went to the kitchen and began to unpack the bags.

“You left,” I turned to put the produce in the fridge.

“I came back,” when I turned back around, Gregers was on the other side of the counter, taking out the last of the groceries from the bags. He handed me a bag of tomatoes, our hands touched and gloriously it felt normal. But looking up in his eyes I knew it was far from it.

“I... I didn’t know if or when you would,” I looked up at the ceiling, thinking that it would send the tears rolling back into my tear ducts. Still, they sprung forth and clung to my lashes like dew on a leaf in the early morning.
