Chapter 68

• Silence stretched between us at dinner; the discussion made me dizzy and angry. Until I finished, I was in no mood to talk and left Reyhan alone in the kitchen, heading to the music room. I took the guitar and sat on the sofa, folding my knees. Playing random tunes and my mind wandering, we don’t know each other well yet, but we’re in love, well, that’s what I think, and I hope it’s true. I don’t care how much we argue about his decision. Still, I will always come back to him, forgive him, and accept his choices, even if they are sometimes very contrary to what I want. When I turned my gaze towards the entrance of this room, Reyhan was standing there, looking at me with a look that I didn’t understand. I looked at my fingers and rattled one of the guitar strings; Reyhan came over to me and then sat with me on the sofa.
• “You are okay??”
• I don’t know what this question is for; I shrugged my shoulders in response.
