Immediately after I got the pictures, I ran to my room and slammed the door shut. Although something about that picture seemed off, I was still taken aback by it.
Just then, I got a call from Gerard. I answered but said nothing.
"Hello" his calm and gentle voice was heard from the other end. Before I could say anything, he told me about his encounter with Anastasia.
"I met Anastasia here yesterday. I wanted to tell you about it when I return home but saying it now seems better." Gerard knew that I didn't like anything about Anastasia and hearing him tell me this just cleared my doubt completely.
I know I shouldn't have believed in the picture of him having dinner with Anastasia, I couldn't control my emotions and doubted him for a second. What a bad wife.
I sighed, "Pictures came in today. It's probably the duo trying to get on my nerves." I explained what happened today and he also told me his side of the story.
He was having dinner when Anastasia walked to the table and sat opposite him. I could clearly see from the picture that he wasn't happy with her presence but the photographer did a good job in capturing the side of his face well.
"I'll be back soon," he assured and I nodded.
"Um..." just then, a knock came from the door.
"You want to get that?" he asked and I replied with a 'no'.
"That's probably Lucy. I'm not ready for drama." I dismissed it.
"It might be important. Attend to her, I'll still be on the line," he assured and I sighed.
"It won't take long. Hey... Mr Gerard, don't go anywhere." I threatened and he reassured me.
I got up and went to the door. I opened it and let her in not knowing that she would end up saying so many things to Gerard's gearing.
When he walked into the room, he still had his phone in his ear and although I wasn't expecting him at that moment, I was ecstatic to see him there.
**Back to the present.
"Did something happen?" his behaviour was confusing to me and it felt as though there was more to this than he was saying.
He finally broke the hug and pursed his lips. "Would you like to go out for a walk?" this was all of a sudden and I thought he would be tired because he had just come back.
Seeing the strange expression on his face, I thought it might be best to follow him.
"Um." I nodded but in the next minute, I cancelled the thought.
"Let's wait a while. Take a shower and I cook. We can go later." I suggested and he nodded.
I went straight to the kitchen and put some rice on fire. After that, I went outside to check the place where Lucy fell.
"Indeed, she escaped," I muttered. There was no blood and no body. It felt safe to say she made it away alive.
I immediately went back in and prepared everything while Gerard took a shower. Soon, I was done and he was also done.

The sun had disappeared completely and thus was the main reason why I told him to wait. I knew that the sun was still slightly up when he came back and I didn't want him to get hurt by it.
As he walked out, I could control my eye. No matter how many times I look at him, I couldn't get used to his beautiful eyes and his outstanding features.
My lips curved upwards and I waited for him to take a sit. Gerard walked up to me and pulled a chair out for me then pushed it back after I sat.
I didn't even realize that u wasn't seated until he pulled the chair out and ushered for me to sit.
I placed food on his plate and watched him eat. 'Doesn't he look like Eros?' my thoughts wondered.
'If he's Eros then I think I am Psyche and this arrow of love touched the both of us.' I smiled dreamily as my thoughts wandered to different places.
"You should eat," he suggested and passed me a spoon.
I took the spoon and wanted to eat my food but he pushed his plate towards me then continued eating.
I knew what this meant and ate with him on the same plate. Soon, we were done and decided to take the walk.
On the street, there were so many people still walking around and we were quiet as though we only came out to catch some air.
We walked a long distance until we got to a quiet street. "Is something bothering you?" I asked to start a conversation but it took him almost ages to respond.
"Some of the things Lucy said were true."
his words were very clear but I maintained my composure and said nothing.
"The air is cool tonight," I commented and looked up at the dark sky. In the next minute, I felt a thick jacket on my body.
Gerard had placed his coat over me for heat. I looked at him and revealed a bright smile. He was about to say something but I didn't let him.
"How many stars do you think are you there?" I asked staring at the stars with dreamy eyes.
He looked up with a calm face and responded. "A million? Or maybe billions," he responded.
"It's beautiful isn't it?" I smiled and he responded,
"Very."
I smiled and looked at him after realizing that he wasn't looking at the stars but rather at me.
"The stars are beautiful from this distance but I was told they are very hot when one gets closer to them." my smile faded after I said the last word.
"Whatever she said was in the past and the past is far away. I'd rather stick to this present that has you in it." I smiled.
His expression softened for a minute but in the next, it looked distant again. "I might not be able to tell you the truth if I don't say it today." his brows creased and his eyes were distant.
I sighed then smiled. "What do you want to say? That you're the big bad wolf?"
