Selene's POV
Two days after the garage incident I was finally okay to go and was discharged.
Carlo's confession still lingered between with no one talking about it. I couldn't respond to his confession,I'd just nodded after he literally said "I love you".
We got back at night and I just quickly retired to bed,still weak from the clinical procedures.
The first morning felt like I was stuck in someone's nightmare without a means of escape.
My body still ached subtly and the incision below my abdomen pulled every time I shifted. But the worst pain wasn't physical,it was the hollow place just below my navel.
I placed my palm there again like I did in the hospital and felt exactly what I'd felt then.
I closed my eyes and let the tears leak sideways into my hair. I didn't sob due to lack of energy. It was just a quiet, endless leaking, like my body was still trying to bleed out something that was no longer there.
The door opened softly.
Carlos.
