The days were slow and seemed to drag on forever, at the same time they also went by quickly. Because before she even knew it, it had already been two weeks since her husband had left home. And although the days were annoyingly long, Neriah could not settle with the fact that it had been two whole weeks already!
What kind of husband goes away without sending a message of his death or well-being? Did he forget he left someone at home?! The more she thought about it the more angry she got.
At the same time she wondered what Lyle was doing. After she sent him her letter, she had not received any more from him. Neriah was not certain what she wanted. The safety of her husband or the victory of her lover.
The fact that Barak had not sent any messages was something that worried her deeply, although she denied it vehemently. She wondered if Lyle had maybe caught up with him. Everything was just a mess, she didn't know what she was doing anymore.
