Chapter One
The television sounded distant, only the movement of the actors mouths could be seen. Rosie looked across from the settee that she was laying on and looked at the person sitting across the way. In the dim light she could just make out her husbands frame sitting in the large leather chair.
Thinking back to a day when she first met him and how much he had changed, not saying that she was perfect, ha who is perfect now a days. No he was different, distant from her, tied up in his own world and his work.
He turned to face her and smiled, it was that distant vacant smile, she smiled back and looked back at the TV. Her thoughts returned, thinking about Simon her 2 year old son and smiled to herself, he was her world like any mother would say. She was 3 months pregnant when she said the words 'I do' and then 6 months down the line this sweet bundle of joy was placed into her arms after a long and hard labor
Work tomorrow She though to herself, she was enjoying her job at the moment, it was an escape out of this house away from this life and then there was Jake, she smiled, what a man!
