Chapter 24

• The next day I decide to leave the house and get some fresh air. I visit an art studio to help clear my mind, art always helps me to calm down. I look at pictures or paintings and try to imagine what the artist was thinking while creating them. It calms my mind and takes me away from my problems. After seeing the art exhibition, I visit a bookstore close by and engulf myself in another world. I am obsessed with historical fiction. When there is romance in it, you have me in your pocket.
• I spend the rest of my day at the bookstore by the time I am ready to go home, it's dark outside. I call Aurora to come pick me up, she is still busy at the office, so she asked someone else to pick me up. She did not mention who, but when he arrives.
• I am starting to think Aurora intentionally sends her brother my way. I don't say anything to him as I watch him inside the car, waiting for me to get in. He rolled down the windows of the car, so I would know it's him. He looks far worse than yesterday. He seems really stressed, and all I want to do is help him with his workload, but all he does is push me away. It pains my heart to see him suffering, but I can't do anything to help. He doesn’t say a word to me as I get into the car. Once he starts the car, he finally speaks.
