Malachi.
Present day. Saturday. Four days later…
I'm in my parents' home having dinner with them. Dad needed to see me concerning something important. Since I arrived, he hasn't discussed this important topic. He's only discussed rather mundane topics. My mind drifts to Melanie a lot, but I banish thoughts of her and focus on this delicious dinner. I wonder where she is at the moment.
She rarely sleeps at home. But for the past four days now, I observed she's being sleeping at home.
"How's my sweet girl doing, Malachi? Why didn't you bring her?" Mum asks. I frown. I wonder why I didn't even invite Melanie to accompany me. I think I just needed to be away from her.
