I stepped out of the bathroom to meet a surprised Nicole, awake now and sitting on the bed. I had just finished taking my bath, and had a towel wrapped around my waist. It was two days since I got back from the hospital, and the rate with which I healed was nothing but great. Dr Cole came by daily to administer what was left of my dosage. Nicole ensured I had enough rest, and snapped at the kids whenever they tried to disturb me.
"Good morning, sweetheart, how was your night?" I asked as I walked past her towards the closet without waiting for her to respond. I knew she wouldn't respond. I knew she had questions but I was not ready to answer them. Too bad, my unwillingness to answer them wouldn't discourage her from asking them.
