"How was your day?" Jasper asks, setting down the plate of spaghetti bolognaise in front of his fiancée.

She smiles and digs in, not hesitating.

I smile slightly as I watch her.

"Alright," I say and they look at me. "What?"

"Why are you so gloomy nowadays?" Jasper asks and Alice looks back at him.

She knows what my father did. What my mother did.

She knows what horrors sometimes keep me up tonight.

I look down as I grip my arm again.

It's the worst scar on my body.

"What did you guys do?" I ask, ignoring the nagging feeling in my mind.

They smile effortlessly.

And I sigh internally with envy.

I want that.

Anyone sad? I'm sad.
