[Leonard]
I didn't realize how much I needed a deep breath until Nicole left after locking the door with a key, and I dragged in a deep, raspy breath. The day had happened so quickly and very much strangely, and to say that I was grateful for how it turned out eventually was an understatement.
I had come so close to losing Nicole and the kids, and Idris because of jealousy. I was jealous when I saw Nicole in Idris' residence without my knowledge, and I allowed jealousy to cloud my thinking faculties.
I owe Nicole a lot for stopping me from punching Idris. What was I thinking, charging after him like that?
I sat on the bed, and let out another raspy breath. Maybe a nice, quiet sleep isn't a bad idea right now, judging from how fast and stressful my day was. I resisted the urge to take a shower or change into casual wear and climbed into the bed instead to observe some rest. Soon, the party will commence, and I will not have time to rest anymore.
