Signs
Eventually, she felt so stupid because there were so many signs of his deep dark secret. It was almost like she didn’t want to see it. Every time something weird happened, he could find an excuse to talk himself out of it. In the night he would often betray himself because he talked in his sleep. Most of the time he would just mumble and she couldn’t hear a thing, but there were also nights when he would continually say “sorry”. Emma had no idea what he was saying sorry about and to who.
When she would ask him the next morning, he always said that he doesn’t remember and she might have misheard him. Then they would go for a family day out and she would forget about it. She agreed with him that it was silly and there was nothing to worry about. She had to enjoy everything that was going on right now and the time they spent as a family. So that’s what they did and it was the good, caring, kind-hearted Daniël that she saw.
