The days gradually moved on into weeks after that incident that night. But Barak could tell how much she was hurt and traumatized by his actions after that. Just lifting a finger next to her always seemed to make her jolt. And although it hurt him to see her like that, he knew he had no one else to blame but himself. He had acted foolishly and was facing the repercussions of his actions.
Everytime he tried to build up a conversation, it ended almost immediately he started it because all she gave was short responses, either a yes, or a nod of her head.
He hated himself. It was annoying and irritating to see her like that. In fact he preferred their former daily arguments to her shivering silence. It pained him that he was the cause of that silence.
