Tobias wasn’t as lucky as her when it came to falling asleep. He pulled down the blanket covering Skylar’s head and gently stroked her delicate cheek. She resembled a sleeping kitten as she murmured in her sleep, “Why did all of you leave me? What have I done wrong?”
She was dreaming that everyone had abandoned her.
Gazing at the moonlight beyond the windows, Tobias remained wide awake. He lay on his side and supported his head as he quietly watched Skylar. It was a peaceful feeling and how he wished he could freeze this moment.
The next day, Skylar opened her eyes and felt the space beside her only to find it empty, without a trace of warmth left. Tobias is gone again.
She tottered out of the bathroom. Every time Tobias had his way with her, she wouldn’t be able to normally walk the next day.
The sun was shining brightly this morning with its rays spilling in through the windows, enveloping the entire house in a warm glow.
When Tobias noticed Skylar still wearing a bathrobe, he quirked a brow at her. “Are you seducing me this early in the morning? Was my performance yesterday not to your satisfaction?”
Skylar hastily tightened the belt of her bathrobe and changed the subject. “Why are you up so early?”
In answer to her question, Tobias served the breakfast he had prepared; fried eggs and sandwiches. Skylar noticed that the fried eggs were out of shape and slightly burnt.
She picked up a fork and took a bite out of the fried egg. A bitter taste instantly filled her mouth.
“Is it good?”
Skylar nodded. “Pretty good.”
Tobias sighed softly. “I don’t really know how to cook. It’s probably quite bad, right?”
Skylar put down her fork, slightly annoyed. Why did he even ask me when he knows that it tastes horrible?
He poured a glass of milk for Skylar, but she pushed it away. “I don’t drink milk.”
