Chapter 174

• I woke up again with the feeling that something was missing. My partner leaving in the early hours of the morning had become routine, but he didn't want me to accompany him. Lately, he had even started leaving dressed in his black clothes, which made me wonder if he was going to meet someone. After all, why would he bother to cover his nakedness if it weren't for that?
• I tried to get used to it, but it wasn't easy. I felt anxious about his absence and believed that this feeling would diminish if only he shared his activities with me.
• I stretched before getting up and going to the kitchen to prepare the day's meal. There were only three weeks left until the blood moon. As I stirred the food in the pot, a sound coming from the bedroom took me by surprise. I turned off the stove and ran there, finding a mess. Lohan looked exasperated, rummaging through my things as if looking for something.
