Invisible String

Chapter 33

Brooke awoke. Panting. Her womanhood aching. She was alone.

Lucas wasn't beside her and given how neat the sheets were on his side. He hadn't come to bed at all.

She got up and left the bedroom. Went into the hallway and checked in on Langston and Landon who were asleep.

She then headed downstairs. Opened the door to Lucas's home office.

It was there that she found him asleep.

And as much as she attempted to bring it up to him the next morning. And days later.

He was keeping her at a distance.

As much as Brooke made it seem like things were okay. In front of her sons.

She was worried. Lucas was pushing her away. Shutting down on her.

When all she needed the most was his love and support.
