Chapter 46 Healing

• Lia rolled on her side and opened her eyes wishing she could sleep for the next hundred years. She straightened and sat up, resting her head against the pillow, her mind going over yesterday's events.
• Fernando had hit her but obviously it wasn't intentional and he had apologized immediately to prove it. He also agreed to therapy but she couldn't get her hopes up over that. He could change his mind this morning once the guilt from his actions wore off.
• She was pulled out of her thoughts by a knock on the door. Thinking it was Fernando, she closed her eyes immediately and slid down the bed pretending to be fast asleep. To further stir up the guilt he was feeling, she had told him she'd be sleeping in the guest room.
