Derek noticed that Taaliyah us growing cold since his centralized air condition was never turned off when he is around. He picked a jacket from his closet and walked back to living room. He forcefully brought her home but let her sit alone for some time. He put the jacket over the top and walked back to kitchen. He made some coffee a d walked back holding the mugs. He handed her one and sat next to her. She held the mug and sat the same way. Looking down, tears often streaming down. She was messed up.
"Do they fight often?" He asked slowly.
"Hmm.." Taaliyah nodded. She wiped her tears. "Like everyday," she said.
"How long has this been going on?" He asked.
"Like 30 years maybe, since their marriage,"
"What?" Derek was surprised.
"You never.. never.. when were you planning on telling me this?"
"Tell you what?" She looked at him keeping the coffee mug on the coffee table before her.
