It was about a week after the birth. They allowed me to stay and recover. But that time flew by quicker than a lightening bolt and before I knew it I was told to gather my things.
Jeff was silent the whole time. Not a word. I noticed that he was trying to avoid looking at me.
After Hunter was born he was a bit more like he used to be at first, attentive and caring, but mostly only around our child. In other cases he was distant again.
Anyway, everyone's attention that week circled around Hunter, though, I could tell that he didn't like it. He'd just stare at everyone with those piercing blue eyes. Eyes that seemed to be out of this world. It mesmerized everyone. He was one of a kind.
Now that I had him, the situation with Jeff wasn't as bad. It was painful, of course, but at least
