After weeks of recovery, hospital visits, and doctors telling her to take things slowly, Sophia was finally home.
She had returned to the house she shared with Marcus. For the first few days, Marcus tried to make everything peaceful. He cooked for her. He helped her move around when she needed it. He made sure she took her medication and attended her appointments. He wanted a fresh start.
But the peace did not last.
Sophia slowly returned to her old habits.
One evening, Marcus came out of the shower and found her sitting on the bed with his phone in her hand. He stopped. “What are you doing?”
Sophia looked up. “Checking something.”
“You went through my phone?”
“I was looking for something.”
“You could have asked me.”
She placed the phone beside her. “Would you have shown me?”
