Trust

Victor's words still ring in my ears as I arrive home to the darkened estate. Moonlight sweeps through the large windows as I climb the stairs to the second level. Who is worth trust? That's what his note said. I rub my eyes as I enter our bedroom. Eric is already home, sleeping so I quietly get undressed and slip between the sheets next to him. His face is so peaceful and relaxed as I watch him sleep. Closing my eyes, I try to forget for the time being that he may be of harm to me and the children, if Victor is to be believed. Reaching for his hand, I give it a slight squeeze and drift off to sleep.
