The City of Astan [2]

Ethan

I run a hand through her hair to comfort her and close my eyes, bottling all my emotion up for a later time.

Whit

I sigh, "I'm sad."

Ethan

I nod, "Me too."

Whit

I wipe my eyes and stand, "Lets...go home."

Ethan

I nod and wipe a stray tear from her cheek, taking her hand and leading her out.

Whit

He leads me out and I swallow when we get home, plopping on the couch.

Ethan

I watch her, my heart heavy, before sitting at her side and kissing her cheek, not sure what to say.

Rose

I open the door and step out of the bathroom, a towel wrapped around me with a towel in my hair. And third one on top of the second cover apart of my face that can be seen though the windows. The shower was great and definitly something I needed, I smelled like jasmin shanpoo and soon made my way after seeing Ethan and his wife come back. I flash Ethan a quick smile and close the door to the guest room.

Whit

I bury my face in my hands and calm down, sighing.

Ethan

I merely acknowledge Rose before kissing Whitney's temple, "Do you need anything?"

Whit

I shake my head and don't say anything, not wanting to break down again.

Ethan

I sigh and rest my head against her shoulder, watching her worriedly.

Whit

I sniffle, "My baby's gone..."

Ethan

I swallow and kiss her neck, wrapping an arm around her, "I know, Whit. I know."

Whit

I cry a little bit and bring my knees to my face.
