Wayne had his eyes tightly closed.
"Wayne, it didn't have to end up like this today," Rosalynn said slowly.
"I know..." Wayne replied.
Rosalynn didn't say anything else. There's no use harping on some things.
"Enough hugging, it's time to water the plants," Rosalynn pushed him away.
Wayne stayed silent for a while before letting go.
Rosalynn left the study, and Wayne glanced at the baby crib. It didn't belong in this room, he had forgotten to move it so Rosalynn wouldn't see it and get upset.
Rosalynn found the watering can, which was in the same place as before.
The plant food was right where it used to be too.
She filled up the can with water and added the plant food. Slowly, she watered the plants on the balcony.
"I'm not good with plants, you know. All the ones you used to have... I killed them. So I bought new ones that looked similar," Wayne approached from behind, hugging her and whispered in her ear.
"You knew you couldn't take care of them and still bought them?" Rosalynn sighed.
Wayne buried his face in her neck, "I just wanted everything to stay the way it was when you were here."
Rosalynn didn't respond.
After she finished watering the plants, she cleaned the watering can and returned it to its usual spot.
"I'm done watering, I should leave now," Rosalynn announced.
Wayne didn't want her to leave.
"I brought back so many flowers, but my hand..." Wayne pitifully held up his bandaged hand.
Rosalynn was speechless.
After a while, she started to arrange the flower bouquets. Wherever she went, Wayne followed.
With the last bouquet, Rosalynn placed it on the coffee table in the living room.
Although the sofa was clean, it looked old and even slightly collapsed.
