Jacob Mackay...
Jacob had already lost track of time. The days came and went while he stayed in bed on Nicole's side, staring at the ceiling as the earth kept revolving. The entire world around him moved in, but to him, the times have ended.
At first, the room smelled of Nicole and was filled with signs of her existence. Over time, the smell had filled and the shadows of Nicole which lurked seemed to fade into the walls. Jacob tried to hold in to the lingering feeling in him and to her smiling face staring up at him. That beautiful kept slipping away from him and so he stayed still to make the moments last longer.
The bedroom door creaked, and Nina appeared in the doorway with bed hair. The frame of her eyeglasses was crooked and looked like they had been broken. Jacob barely held her eyes. His eyes lacked focus and so he looked through her instead of looking at her.
