I changed into a loose dress and tied my hair back before leaving my room. The house was quiet, like one of those days that stood in between nostalgia and peace. It was a Sunday and I couldn't be more excited now that my friends were going to spend the holidays with me.
My mind was going through all the exciting things we were going to do. The last time I had seen my friends was when I had left the house, back when I was still married to Damien. That was the first time I had left Damien. My memory went back to how Damien had been so protective of me that night when he saw me with Leo. A twisted feeling of warmth, pride and regret filled my chest.
I still remember the look on his face that night. He was ready to take down anyone who looked at me that night and if I had told him to burn the entire place down, he would have done it in a heartbeat. I was angry at him but I felt protected and so, so wanted.
