I entered my room and saw Alex already waiting for me there. He walked towards me when he saw me entering the room and scooped me up.
" What happened?" he asked me and sat on the bed with me.
" Nothing." I said. He made me sit on his lap, my legs on either side of his, and our face was in front of each other. He hugged me and took a deep breath, inhaling the scent of my body.
" Are you sad?" Alex asked me after a few seconds of silence. I didn't answer at first but then nodded my head slightly.
" What I saw was painful for me but to Alfie, it must have been much more than that. He is only four years old and seeing his mother badly injured must have shaken him to his core." I said, closing my eyes and resting my head on Alex's shoulder.
" I'm sorry that you both watched that scene." Alex said in an apologetic tone. I raised my head and looked into his eyes.
