An hour later, we were in the living room with the heater on. I had taken a quick warm bath and had changed into pairs of pull-over and sweatpants. I came down as he said he would prepare the dinner. Although I contemplated it after the scene I just made. But I didn't want to waste his effort so I still came down.
When he saw my hair was still damp, he brought out a towel from the back laundry area and put it over my head. I took a seat on the high stool. He put a cup of hot tea on the counter. I gently sipped on it while I watched him prepare the table.
"Just take a bite, okay?" he said when he was all done and took the seat adjacent to me.
I nodded.
We ate in silence. We listened to the heavy rain outside. The curtains were closed as the thunder and lightning were playing outside us
