I've Been There Before

At night, she could not sleep well. It rained late at night. The raindrops pattered on the window. She tossed and turned.

Hours later, she still did not feel sleepy at all.

She pulled away the quilt and walked down to the ground barefoot, pacing irritably in front of the window.

She put on her nightgown and walked barefoot into the living room. She turned on the TV and found there was a children’s show on TV. She was absent-minded for a moment. It occurred to her that she had not watched TV for a long time.

However, Caden often watched TV.

She lay on the sofa like Caden usually did. She was surprised by the cartoon named “Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf” on the screen.

Wolves eat sheep. This was the law of the jungle. Did he watched this cartoon every day?

A noise came from outside.

Grace got alert.

She listened carefully for minutes. She was sure that she heard a noise.

Was there a thief?

But that was impossible. Caden agreed to let her move out of the manor of the Shaw Family because the security measures were pretty good here.

Maybe there was a cat, or a dog, or a kid.

She opened the door.

...

She was shocked.

It was Caden!

Her heart beat fast.

They looked at each other for nearly five minutes, with no words.

She seemed to be calm.

However, when she saw his pleading eyes, she started to melt down.

She turned around and walked into her department.

The door wasn’t closed.

She didn’t look back or checked if he had come in. She walked into the bedroom and brought out a bathrobe and towel. When she returned to the living room, there was nobody. She looked at the door. He was standing there, staring at her.

She silently walked to the door and handed the towel and bathrobe to him.

She turned around again.

Just then, she saw the happiness in his eyes when he took the towel and bathrobe from her.

“Grace, you’re so nice.”

Suddenly, Caden’s voice appeared.

She stopped at the door of her bedroom and clenched her fist.

Then she entered her bedroom, ignoring all the sounds outside.
