There were punching bags and boxing gloves for his training on the balcony, clothes he changed out of in the bathroom’s laundry basket, and loungewear he usually wore draped on the back of the couch.

Their toothbrushes leaned against each other on the rack above the sink like usual, like two people hugging and kissing.

Cordelia felt a pinch on her nose, and her eyes grew wet.

As she entered the bedroom, the sheets were what she had changed not too long ago. They had picked out the iris design together.

She had once told him seriously that the iris’ meaning was brimming love and happiness. She just did not know that the iris had a hidden symbol—hopeless love.

Cordelia sat by the bed with her eyes lowered and said nothing.

Linda was worried. Cordelia had been acting this way since she was in the hospital. She was quiet and dared not meet anyone’s eyes. She was quiet in the day and often startled awake by nightmares at night.
