Chapter 16

3rd Person Pov
It's been a while since their baby died. Solstice has been quiet and doesn't talk a lot. Luan was there to take care of her. He wanted to do everything to bring her back like how she was before. 
 
Solstice was sitting on the bed. Her eyes were empty, her heart was empty too, her stomach too...
She stood up and slowly walked to the balcony. She sat down on the chair, placed a hand on her stomach, and rubbed it as if there was a baby in it. 
She looked up into the sky. It was night and the moon was visible, and there were stars in the sky. 
“Baby, how are you there? My little star... “ she mumbled while looking to the stars.
“Darling?... “ Luan called her. It's the first time he call her that, it was always her who use their endearment.
“Why are you there? It's cold out there, “ he said and grabbed a jacket from the closet. He walked to her and wrapped the jacket around her.
“I want to be gone.. “ she mumbled
“No, don't say that darling... “ he wrapped his arms around her neck and looked up into the sky.
“Sorry..uhm Luan..c-can I rest from being your wife for awhile? I'm tired, Luan. Give me space and time. Give me time to heal. My heart is still shattered because you broke it repeatedly while I kept fixing it. It just came to the point that I got tired of fixing it while you kept breaking it. “ she took his arms off her.  
“Heal yourself with me,please?Rest with me? Let me be your comforter this time even though— I'm the reason of that pain you were feeling, “ he muttered, tears welling up in his eyes.
“Mhm, “she nodded her head

Luan leaned his back against his chair, his head rocked backwards, and his legs were spread. He sighed, thinking of what he should do for Solstice. He tapped his finger on the arm rest. 
He ran his fingers through his hair as he glanced at the ceiling. He sat up and opened his laptop. He decided to write a thousand or more words for Solstice in an essay.
“Will she like this?“ he asked himself while he was typing on his laptop. 
After a while, he finished his essay. He took out his phone and opened Google to search, and he searched for things that a boy could do for their partners. 
"Date? hm, where should we go out and date?“ He turned off his phone and massaged his forehead. 
“I need to go home now,“ he muttered, and stood up from his chair. He went to the parking lot and got into his white Lamborghini. He decided to go and buy her favorite spaghetti, coke float, and shawarma also.
Luan went home with a plastic full of Solstice's favorite foods inside. He breathed in and clutched the plastic. He walked to their bedroom.
“Darling? " Luan called Solstice as he opened the door,he peeked inside and saw Solstice hugging her knees and sobbing.
Solstice glanced up at him, and she opened her arms, asking for a hug. “Huggies please, I miss our baby darling, I want our little star back, “ she mumbled as tears kept streaming down her cheeks. 
Luan immediately ran into her arms, hugging her tightly. He was happy that she was not avoiding or ignoring him after she said that she needed time and space to heal. 
He wrapped his arms around her and hugged her tightly. He placed a kiss on her head. "Shh, I'm here now, darling," he said softly as he stroked her back, soothing her.
“Darling, can I ask you something? “she mumbled as she nuzzled his neck.
“Sure, “ he looked at her and smiled a bit.
“Are we still strangers darling? “
He placed a hand on her cheek and smiled a little. “No, you're my wife, “ he pecked her lips.
“Really? I'm not a stranger anymore? “ she stared at him.
“Yes, you're not and I'm sorry for treating you like a stranger before, “ he caressed her cheek with his thumb.
“Mhm, “ she looked down and sighed.
“I bought food for you,“ Luan said, and he showed her the plastic bag he was holding. As she opened the plastic, a smile could be seen on her face. There was spaghetti, a coke float, shawarma, and chocolate. 
“Thank you, “ she looked at him and gave him a sweet smile.
He opened the container containing the spaghetti and grabbed a fork from the plastic. He twisted the spaghetti with a fork. He raised the fork in front of her face. “Open your mouth, darling,“ he smiled at her. He pushed the fork inside her mouth as she opened her mouth. 
She smiled as she chewed the spaghetti in her mouth. “This tastes yummy.”
"I'm glad you like it," he said, messing with her hair.“From now on, I want the both of us to treat each other as lovers.“
"Okay," she said as she hugged him tightly, feeling his warm. She was happy that now they're going to treat each other as lovers. She would try to be comfortable with him. 
Solstice just finished eating the food Luan bought for her. He stood up, gathering the containers of the food and placing them back inside the plastic bag he used earlier. He went out to throw it in the garbage can and came back to her. 
He smiled as he saw her already lying down on the bed. He approached her and got under their blanket. He wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her close to press her body against his. 
He leaned closer to her ears and whispered, “check your email tomorrow. I sent something there earlier.“
“What did you send there? Can I see it now? “ She looked down at his hand that was pressing against her stomach.
“It's a secret and no, just look at it tomorrow,“ he muttered in his sleepy voice as he nuzzled her neck. 
“Why tomorrow?“ she asked, confused as to why she couldn't read it today.
 
“Why not?“ he simply replied.
