CHAPTER FOURTEEN

Lucy

Something was wrong. I could feel it like little knives poking me all over. I rolled over, the moonlight filled the room just enough so that I could see the peaceful face of my husband as he slept beside me.

My husband.

Yes, that still felt strange.

But there wasn’t time to think about that now.

I knew if I didn’t get out of this bed right this second, then I never would. I’d end up waking him and begging him to make love to me again and again. Not that I really had to beg. My husband worshiped and loved me pretty much from the moment he laid eyes on me.

I pushed the strange events that brought us together out of my mind. I needed a computer, or in a pinch, a phone. This was our time, we had both agreed to leave everything behind for two weeks. Two weeks away, in a strange country, eating delicious food and drinking too much. Two whole weeks where we were just us. We were supposed to be living in our little bubble where our world revolved around just that, us.

Somehow, as I carefully slipped out of bed, I felt like I was breaking some sort of vow to him. This wasn’t an addiction. It wasn’t the need to check on things, to have my fingers touch the keys as my eyes darted through many different images. It wasn’t about that. This was about the feeling that I had and I knew, just knew, that something was wrong. I couldn’t ignore it. Couldn’t pretend that I hadn’t woken up in a cold sweat. Couldn’t tuck myself into my husband’s side and go back to sleep. I had to believe that he would understand that.

Remembering that the hotel had a so-called business center, I dressed quietly. And because I was smart and caring, I left a note right where he could see it. If he woke, which I prayed that he didn’t, then he would know right where to find me. Slipping my key-card into my pocket, I took in a deep breath.

There were so many things he’d done for me, my man. He’d brought me out of the dark into the light, in a way. He had torn down the walls of my comfort all the while, becoming my new comfort. I knew this, and perhaps I was alright with that. I could tell he was too. While I left the house without him at times, it wasn’t as easy to do as when he was by my side. Something as simple as stepping outside of this hotel room caused a headache to push at my brain, a tightening in my chest, and a turning in my gut.

Tucking my head so that my hair created a curtain around my face, I exited the safe space into the hall. With quick feet, I made my way to the elevator. Once I was in the lobby, I wove my way to where I’d remembered seeing the sign for the business center.
