I hear your wife is back home, am glad she is safe now.

Mark is standing by the window lost in his own thought. He had actually come back home to see his mother as she requested but isn't lively for discussion

There was nothing wrong with her in the first place. Mark replied without looking back

Every since Sarah got back from her trip, things has been different between them. Sarah find opportunity to laugh at everything Mark does. He has been having a hard time concentrating at work because his mind aches whenever he remembers Sarah.

He might not like her but he seems to care more about her and what she does whenever he is not there with her. All these things drive him crazy.

He has also decided to monitor her since she chose to disappear for a month without no way to reach her

Mark is at the verge of receiving queries because of mistakes he didn't notice

Mark are you OK?

He snapped out of his thought immediately. Yes, am ok.

You really look lost for a moment

Mark looks away still but replied her. "I can handle myself, don't bother about me"

Where did Sarah go for that long? She was gone for a month, isn't it?

She went for official assignment, she is already back anyway. I really don't want to talk about that. Why am I here mum?

Mrs Davies has never seen her son this lost and there is nothing she can do to help him. He is so uptight in everything.

Now that Sarah is back, why have you not brought her back home to see us, I haven't seen you in a long time either. That girl needs someone to remind her that she is now married and can't go out to act as she please

I will bring her soon. He walks towards Mrs Davies and holds both her hands. He looks into her eye for a while but didn't say anything

Mark, what is bothering you, tell me maybe I can help. Mrs Davies touched his face as she pat him gently

Mummy knows you best, let her help you this one time

Mark looked into Mrs Davies eye, mum, how do you know what you feel is love or not?

Are in love with Sarah already?

Will you please answer me or you could just forget about it. He takes back his hand and walked to sit on the couch

It's a good thing if you are in love with her, tell me how you feel?

If I know how I feel I won't be asking you. Mark looked at the time and turned to face Mrs Davies. I have to go back home now, she should be home already

Mrs Davies raised the corner of her mouth happily as she patted his back

This is a good sign, I can have a grandson in no time. Well this is actually Mrs Davies thought

So, when are you bringing her home?

You never relent, we would come back together to see you soon. Some people have to work you know. He stood up and walked towards the door. Especially that daughter of yours, she works like she owns the company. Extremely busy and mostly brings enough work back home

I thought you said you didn't know anything about her?

Am not blind, we practically live in the same house. So, it's normal I see these things. He quickened his steps just to avoid any further interrogation
