[Leonard]
Nicole not only refused to return to our bedroom, she also refused to let me spend the night with her in the bedroom, and before I finally left her for our bedroom, I could imagine what the night would be like.
All my imagination proved to be false as the night was ten times worse than I feared it would be. I didn't sleep a wink, all I did was pace from one end of the room to the other as a way to keep myself from stepping out the door to beg Nicole once more but what was the guarantee that she would heed to my pleas this time?
I checked for the time from the ugly clock, and exhaled in frustration. I have been pacing for more than four hours. How is the time still a few minutes past 12:00 AM? Did I not start pacing at about 11:00 PM? It was obvious this night was one of those unending nights that take twice the usual time.
