It had already dropped to 50%. Things were getting better.
When I woke up again, the study was completely different.
All of Simon’s collections were cleared away, leaving no trace of them behind. If it weren’t for the lingering marks on my body, I would’ve thought that last night was just a dream
1 dragged my sore body off the couch and changed into clean clothes Then, I went out to check on Lucas.
Strangely, despite being beaten up so severely by Simon, Lucas acted as if nothing had happened. He had already returned to work with Susan

Although we stayed in the same house, I did not see him for the next three days.
He kept telling me that he was busy with work at the office, never coming home for meals or sleep.

For some reason, they actually looked well–matched when they walked side–by–side.

It was chilly. Simon took off his coat and draped it over my shoulder
