Chapter 19 This Is My Wife

• The silence between Astrid and Andrew was toxic, heavy with unspoken emotions. Astrid longed for Andrew to break the silence, to share his thoughts or feelings. Meanwhile, Andrew wondered how to express his own emotions, how to ask Astrid about her well-being, her feelings about the baby, and her thoughts on becoming a mother for the first time.
• As Andrew stole a glance at Astrid, he pondered whether she had pregnancy cravings. He had many questions but struggled to find the right words.
• The silence became unbearable, and Andrew decided to leave, citing work at the office the next day and a meeting with John about parking.
