Opening his eyes, Torren feeling the paper in his hand but the memory of what had occurred before he had fallen asleep was unexplainable.
'Dalia and I had loved each other, but with Shawney it is exceptional.' Opening the note seeing she had gone with Careen to the hospital. "Carl needs to know he is going to be a father."
Hurrying downstairs Torren call Carl's work station, leaving a message for him, hearing the children making noise.
Torren remembers that Shawney promised to take them by the pool.
Seeing Gretta in her bath suit and Tray in his bathing trunk both excited. Having no choice with Shawney being at the hospital it won't be nice to disappoint them.
Hurrying upstairs Torren change, then takes his lunch in a kit. Throwing the kid's towel over his shoulder as they walk down by the pool.
It was nice hearing them laugh and seeing them having fun in the water.
Thinking about Shawney when his mind went back to what occurred before he had fallen asleep.
'Every time we shared our body, it is so special and unforgettable. It feels like I don't get enough of her.
It feels so much like a treasure map, getting a small piece that keeps pushing you to search for more.
I have never tasted such joy before,' "Lord, is this for real? Show me how to be thankful for your blessing.
It has to be You, that allowed her and dad to cross paths, so we could meet. I thank you for sending her to me Lord. I will serve you whole heartfully for the gift you have given me."
So lost in his thoughts that the time has gone by so quickly, that when he heard Gretta sneeze, realizing we had stayed a bit too long in the water.
Taking the both of them out quickly, given Tray his towel, "Hurry and dry yourself son, doing the same with Gretta then take her up.
"Come on son," Seeing Liz coming down the stairs, "Liz it seems I kept Gretta to long in the water."
"Don't worry Sir, every time she goes to the pool she comes out sneezing, but I will attend to her immediately."
"Thank you, is there any news of dad and the others?"
"Are they out of the house Sir?"
Seeing the questionable look, "Never mind," thinking 'Before Shawney came to live in the house Liz and Miss Louise knew everything that circulates around the house.
Now Shawney kept certain information's under wraps. Hearing Liz saying she will attend to them.
I head upstairs to my room, thinking, after I change I will call the hospital, they left before one, and now is after six already.'
Opening his door, only to see Shawney fast asleep on his bed, the dishes she eats was set aside on the center table, where I keep my medication.
Locking my door, 'Our secret is exciting, now I can sneak in whenever I want, just as she does to me.
It was so worrying how we can be together, especially when all eyes were on us but from that second night of our marriage, she was already in my bed.
Dalia was never like Shawney, just comfortable with whatever, but from what I observed with Shawney she is a go-getter. Always finding a way to fix a situation.'
Smiling as I think, 'That the genius who build my closet in secret, making the secret door.
I wonder if he ever thought my precious wife will discover this secret, or my marriage will have to be concealed.
Or was it God who was preparing this? Knowing this would be our predicament, and it would work into our circumstance perfectly.'
Looking at her sleep without a thought in the world, 'Not caring if anyone would find her here when it was she that wanted us to keep her secret.'
At the beginning of July, the baby was already three weeks and Careen was able to move and attend to the baby.
Shawney never left the nursery, for I to get a kiss or hug, I had to sneak into the nursery. All her time was spent taking care of Careen and the baby.
Time was flying so quickly, it has already been ten weeks since we had gotten married, going into her room seeing her asleep, her sandal was still on her feet.
Unstrapping it but then his eyes caught the tear stain on her face. Wondering, 'Who must have told her something that was hurtful for her to be crying?'
"Why were you crying my love?" When his eyes caught the paper fly past his foot as the fan breeze blow it?
Bending down Torren pick it up seeing it was a letter from her lawyer, informing her that her Uncle was unwell.
'She hasn't said anything to me, but it seems she has informed her lawyer where she is.'
Hearing her mumbling something, thinking, 'She must be dreaming her Uncle,' hearing her calling his name saying, "How she was sorry."
Recalling, 'What she did to her family must be hurting her? And it has become a heavy burden.
I must insist that she return to her family and undo that heavy burden, so she could be happy.'
A few days had passed seeing how quiet she was, but she didn't say anything to me.
Torren, spoke to his dad explaining to him what was going on, and what his intentions were, and he wanted to visit her family with her.'
Making all arrangements for their traveling then told her, "Torren, you need to be here to manage your business."
"No my love, I need to be with you."
Hugging him, "I understand you want to be with me, but I don't want to be the one responsible for pulling you away from your work?"
"You are not, if you go without me I will not be able to work anyhow. So I might as well go with you."
When she finally gives in, Torren, inform her about their flight, and it was on Monday the eleventh of July at nine am, because school will be closing for Tray, on the eight.
