Void
A profound melancholy swept through me.
Was that how he perceived me?
Was I really void of love?
I almost looked insulted as I stepped into the room, lowered my brow, and said, "I wasn't going to yell at you."
“No?”
Ben grinned drily, yet there was nothing funny about it. Nothing!
His sigh had a dejected tone.
Oh, dear.
Nope.
I didn't enjoy it.
Not in the least.
And then I felt my legs start to move.
I have no idea why I did that.
We did not fit the mold of a family.
But I had the impression that I required it almost as much as he did.
He was watching me with care as I walked around him.
I put my hands on his broad shoulders, wrapping my arms around him as I stood right behind him.
He made no response.
Yes, it was uncomfortable, but I decided to get rid of the uncomfortable feeling by closing my eyes and smelling his peculiarly pleasant perfume.
i whispered “I’m sorry”.
