Diana returned to her room, after tucking her kids to sleep.
Her eyes snapped towards the wall clock and saw that it's almost 10 pm. Her kids slept late, because it's weekend.
She pressed her lips together. The fact that Ethan isn't in the house, made her calm a little.
The hope that perhaps he has an excuse to justify what is happening made her relax her mind a little.
She took a deep breath. She has cried a lot, that the tears aren't coming anymore. She realized how selfish she behaved.
Not because she has forgiven Ethan, but her kids. She could see the stiffness in their actions all through the day.
They kept asking about Ethan as she had killed him out of anger before they slept off. She should really have considered them, but she just felt tired of her life and want her kids alone now.
They are deeply affected, even though they acted strong.
