As I cut the call with Tara and placed the phone aside, I glanced up at my husband.
How long had he been sitting here?
Did he hear everything?
He must have, I thought. But I didn’t say anything wrong, right? Just called him handsome and hot… I shook my head, brushing away those thoughts, and got off the bed to grab my books and notebook.
"It’s time to study now," I muttered, trying to focus as I gathered everything I needed. I sat back on the bed with my Business Ethics book, a pen, and my notes. Determined, I promised myself that I’d revise every subject at least once before the exams. Flipping through my notes, another thought crossed my mind—what if I get my period during the exams? Ugh... I groaned inwardly. This is literally the worst combination: exams and period cramps together. I just wish the first two days would fall on my leave days…
I was still lost in thought when I noticed him. My gaze lifted, and there he was, quietly taking a seat beside me on the bed. His presence broke my train of thought, and I blinked at him, trying to refocus on my book, but feeling slightly distracted by his silent company.
"Baby, are you really going to stay at home until your exams?" he asked softly.
I looked up from my notes, meeting his gaze, and nodded. "Yes, during our exams and a few days before, we’re allowed to take leave and prepare as we wish. It’ll be announced tomorrow, though," I explained, my voice steady, though the weight of the upcoming days pressed on my shoulders.
"Can’t you go to college and study there?" he asked again.
I shook my head, already knowing my answer. "There will hardly be anyone in our class after tomorrow. My friends wouldn’t come either, so I’d be alone, and I’m better off at home."
