The room was silent as Catherine laid on the bed, scrolling through her news feed. But then she raised her head and stared at the door.
“You are back,” Catherine mumbled, dropping her phone on the sheet as she stared at Rome.
Then her brows lowered when her gaze rested on his mouth and the deep cut on his lip.
“What happened?” Catherine whispered, stepping down from the bed.
Not knowing what to say, Rome watched her approach him. Then he smiled, but her expression remained cold.
“Why is your lip this bruised?” Catherine asked, sounding concerned.
It took Rome a moment for him to pick a random thought from his head and then said, “I got punched by a workmate.”
“What?”
“You know how us men are.”
“No, I don't know because I'm not a man, so why is your workmate hitting you?”
Silence fell between them, and when Rome didn't answer after a couple of seconds had gone by, Catherine took in a deep breath and mumbled, “Are you getting bullied at work?”
“No,” Rome said without looking at her.
“You are lying. You can't even stare me in the eyes and answer.”
“It's not like that. Plus, It is nothing that I can't handle.”
“Like the way you handle things my family does to you! It's not okay that you let people walk all over you!”
Seeing the hurt in her eyes, Rome mumbled, “Catherine,”
“I'm sorry. I don't like seeing you get hurt, emotionally or physically!” Catherine lashed out, aggressively wiping her face while sniffing aggressively.
Smiling softly, Rome held her hand, pulled her against his chest, and embraced her.
Then he leaned towards her ear and whispered, “I know.”
After holding her in his arms for a while, he mumbled, “It's almost eight. Are we still going to the party?”
