I woke up the next morning with a heavy heart. I didn't need to be present at the office today, as Lindholm had suggested that I take a break.
Still, I didn't want to be at home today. It still felt strange living here without Marion.
Today I decided to put my sorrow aside and focus on a little bit of brightness. I had planned a day out with Aria, hoping that spending time with her would help me forget, even if just for a while, the overwhelming grief that still followed Marion's passing.
I had asked Belinda the day before and she readily agreed to it.
I got out of bed and took a shower, before dressing in something simple and comfortable, a soft sweater and jeans, and drove to Belinda's place with my car. She had already given me directions.
I had given Belinda the day off, and that meant that I needed to go to their place to pick Aria.
The drive to their place was long, and I didn't mind it at all. It seemed to be just what I needed.
