Mason POV
When the first sunrays break, I slowly and quietly untangle myself from a sleeping Carina. She stirs slightly when I get up and go to my room. I have held and comforted her until she cried herself to sleep. I could not bring myself to get up and leave, and I fell asleep with her still in my arms.
I mind-link Benedict to meet me here and call the office, informing them that Carina and I will work from home.
Denying that yesterday was a shock to my system, would be fruitless. It opened my eyes to many things I have been shoving to the back of my mind. I have ignored so many signs that something was wrong. Her tears on our wedding night, her apathetic demeanour the last two years. The way her shoulders tense when we walk into this house.
“You shouldn’t frown that much,” Benedict
