There was a cold silence that ensued following his mother's claims. That silence did not last any longer than a heartbeat. During that brief moment, Rochester buried both hands inside his pants pockets. He looked at his mother and saw how she'd begun to massage her thumbs into her temples. Her face looked placid as she kept at it, but Rochester knew she was fighting a real battle inside her mind — one that involved him and how stupid he was being for taking that woman's side.
Hello everyone, I hope all is going well with you all. I am sorry there was no update yesterday. It was mostly because I got so busy that I was exhausted by the time I needed to write. I am sorry. I will do my best to not leave you hanging like this until the end of the month. Cross my heart. Also, I have the chapter for Scathed By The Devil undergoing editing and ready for publication in a bit. Do try to add up that book if you haven't and show support. I will resume ETD sometime in the future.
