Chapter [Next]
Luna’s POV
The air between us was thick with everything left unsaid.
Alexander stood there, rigid and guarded, the man I had married yet barely understood. His confession lingered in my mindI don’t know how to stop pushing you away.
But I wasn’t sure if I had the strength to keep fighting for someone who refused to let me in.
I swallowed past the lump in my throat. “Then maybe you should figure it out, Alexander. Because I can’t keep doing this alone.”
His eyes darkened, but he didn’t argue.
That was the problem. He never argued. He just shut down, retreating into whatever dark place he lived in.
I couldn’t stay here, in this room full of ghosts.
Turning away, I walked out, my heart pounding.
Later That Night
The silence in our bedroom was suffocating.
Alexander
