Aura's eyes stared at the ceiling in boredom.
It was probably midnight or half past one but she couldn't sleep.
She needed to.
"Maybe a glass of milk will do" she mumbled, pursing her lips.
She gracefully threw herself off her bed and made her way to the kitchen.
Axl had given her a tour that evening and even though she was half awake and remembered the way to the kitchen.
She washed a glass cup and filled it with milk, placing the half full carton into the fridge.
"Can't sleep," Axl said, startling her.
She glared at him but nodded.
"Do you have any warm milk?" She asked.
He nodded and passed her a carton of milk.
She smiled and poured it half full - or half empty -
She took a sip and her tensed muscles relaxed.
"When can we go back home?" She asked.
His heart bleed and he wanted to yell.
To rage about how she cheated on him.
On how she never loved him.
Was she using him for his money?
Or was she forced.
Something was off about the situation.
Her parents had money.
She could have asked them instead she tried to use him for money.
It didn't add up
"I don't know," he said coldly, making her sigh but nod.
They sat in silence.
It was eating them up slowly, degrading them.
"What are we Axl?" She whispered.
"You're my ex wife Aura" he ran his hand through his hair in anger "and I still don't know why"

"Mama" Vin whined as he ruffled his blond hair.
Aura hummed and glanced at him for a second then back at the clock.
Her legs were sprawled on the couch and Vin had placed his head on her lap.
"When is papa going to get back?" He asked, pouting.
She bit her lip nervously.
"I honestly don't know" she sighed "bed time?"
He shook his head and huffed a breath.
"I'm waiting for papa," he said.
She froze.
"He said he won't be able to make it," she lied.
"He promised to tuck me into bed," he said.
"Vinny, I can do that," she said.
"No" he shook his head "I want papa"
Aura gasped and tears stung her eyes.
He was already replacing her.
"Vin" she said sternly "I'll put you to bed— I always do"
"I want papa to do it this time" he yelled, making her flinch.
He sighed and jumped off her lap.
