She had her eyes firmly fixed on depths below, not the other side. Gingerly stepping on a bridge whose maker she did not trust was not easy. It had never been easy since the day she married. She had found out that her inheritance mattered more than her, and they actually despised her for ‘the … Continue reading Bridge of mistrust
“I don’t think I will….” The pause seemed like an eternal stretch of time. What if she wants to leave forever? He should never have asked in the first place, forcing her to take a decision.
