Chapter 0256
Rowan smile at me. “Flowers for a beautiful lady”
He then surprises me when he bends down and k*sses my cheek. I stare at his throat in
shock. See what I mean when I say he’s different?
The Rowan I know, wouldn’t be caught dead k*ssing me even if it’s just a peck on the
cheek. So this was at new development. One I wasn’t sure I was ready.
“Thank you,” I shake my head to clear out the confusion.
“Are you ready to leave?”
Noah gently takes Iris from my hands. He stares at her so adoringly. Like she lit up his
world. While he whispers sweet nothings, Iris wakes up. Surprisingly, she doesn’t cry. Just
stares at her brother in
fascination. I guess she is used to him.
“Yes. Everything’s packed”
“Great, we’ll make it home in time for dinner”
He helps me out of the bed. Then he picks up our bags and we leave the room that has
been my home for

Before leaving, I say goodbye to the doctors and nurses. Most of them were so teary. It
touched my heart. to see them happy because I was finally leaving. They’d thought I
wouldn’t wake up. For them, this is a
freaking miracle.
“What about the bills? I pull Rowan’s sleeves to catch his attention.
“Don’t worry about that. It’s already been taken care of that”
He then takes my hand and we follow Noah who was walking ahead of us. I stare at our
joined hands,
completely mesmerized.
Maybe this is all a dream. Because what in the twilight zone is this? Why does he keep
holding my hand?
Before I can think of pulling my hand from his, we get outside to the parking lot. The car
wasn’t that far. Noah gets in while still talking to his sister. Her eyes were fixed on him. It
is as if she is actually listening
to him.
Where did Herbert go?” I ask Rowan after noticing the new driver.
“He took an early retirement, so we got someone else” he answers as he ushers me into
the car.
The moment we get in, the driver begins driving.
The drive is silent. Well except for Noah who was still talking to his Iris. It’s like we don’t
exist in his and Iris’s world as he told her stories of all the things he has done and all they
will do together once she’s old
enough.
I’m lost in thought as the drive flies by. Without even realizing it, we get home. It takes
Rowan nudging me, for me to come back to myself.
“We’re here” he says as he opens the door.
Iris chooses that moment to start screaming her lungs out. I take her from Noah, but she
still doesn’t
keep stop.
“Maybe she’s hungry” I tell no one in particular.
“Just go on inside. I’ll bring in the bags”

It looks the same as always, but I can’t help feeling like this wasn’t my home anymore.
I don’t understand why I felt that way all over a sudden.
When I get inside, things are different. The painting. The décor. Everything. I stop dead in
my tracks. As
survey the entire place. Something feels different, and not just because the house looks
unrecognizable.
It lacked a certain warmth. A kind of warmth that it had yesterday (or what my brain now
considers to be
yesterday)
I continue taking hesitant steps. The feeling of being somewhere foreign intensifies. My
mind told me this is my home though it’s different, but my heart and soul didn’t recognize
it.
Another bout of screaming from Iris pulls me from the weirdness I felt. I walk quickly till I
get to the extra bedroom that was downstairs.
What matters right now is feeding Iris. I can always figure out why something feels wrong
later on.
