It's 3 o'clock am. She was haunting in the living room, howling inside her heart. She didn't know what she should do. She did not turn on the light in case he woke up in the middle of the night and found out her strange behaviour.
She tried to wrap herself in the dressing gown. In the moonlight, she looked through the window. It's dark everywhere. She was moving softly. It's a kind of sliding on the smooth floor which could reduce the noise to the lowest level. She had to keep this movement non-stop, because she knew if she stopped that energy would soon turn into the irrevocable impulse of crying. The gasping sound is the last thing she needed now. After only God knew how many rounds she had been sliding around the space in the living room, suddenly a severe headache stroke her. She had to stop pacing and subconsciously loosen her arms that were tightly surrounding her body with each hand clenched to the other upper arm. She couldn't care about the stiffness of her fingers and arms due to that long time embedding into her body. The headache was pumping in her head with the same rhythm of her heartbeat. She pressed her temples hard with her thumbs with the hope that could squeeze the pain out.
Then, she began to shiver and exhale heavily. she had to bend down. To keep the balance of her body, she was on her knees with her hands against the floor to support her weight - the not-much weight left in her after struggling to make the decision for two weeks.
