His eyes were blank, and I could sense that it was the funeral that had left him impassive. I called out to him, "Adam," but he was still.
"Adam," I repeated. "You have to eat something. You'll make yourself sick if you don't."
I hated pressing it on him; it seemed too insignificant a thing to do after his sister's death.
"I'm not hungry now. Maybe later," he said barely breaking a whisper. I nodded and left the room. I was unable to look at him. He had changed.
I suddenly felt guilty as I sat on the wooden chair in our bedroom. True, he wasn't the man I had fallen in love with, he hadn't been for some time, but he needed time to pass through this rough patch. He would smile again, I knew.
I would love him again when he smiled.
