Matthew's room was engulfed with deafening silence. The couple didn't talk further. Sophia stepped into the bathroom to have a quick shower while Matthew went to his study to gather his emotions.
He hated that the two of them argued tonight. They were supposed to be enjoying each other's company. Sophia's birthday was not yet done.
He planned on staying up all night and asked her to watch movies with him. But now, he couldn't do that. Both of them were not in the mood.
Matthew lost count of how many times he sighed inside his study. He was hurt but he couldn't blame Sophia. He couldn't even bring himself to get mad at her.
When Sophia told him that she wanted to leave and go home, Matthew felt alarmed. He was afraid that Sophia would ask him to break up. That's what he was afraid of. He didn't want that to happen.
If he had to trap her in his room, he would not hesitate to do that as long as Sophia would not disappear from his sight.
