It's been more than a month since Aiden went to Country X, and after seeing the news, Sophia believed that Aiden was just like any other man. He will never be content with what he has.
She was so heartbroken that she had not been sleeping that well. It was the weekend, so she took the excuse to wake up later. She trudged her way to the kitchen to get a drink when she got halted by what she saw sitting in her living room. "I think I'm imagining things," she said while she rubbed her eyes.
Aiden was sitting on her sofa, flipping a magazine, just like any other day. "Hi, Sunshine!" He smiled at her like everything was normal.
For a second, she wanted to hug him and welcome him home, but then she remembered the pictures in that news report, and her mood changed, "What are you doing here?" Her reply was curt.
