After a fight, we fell into a cold war.
After that, I was assigned to go on a business trip by the company.
After thinking about it, I decided to tell Fiona.
Before leaving, she helped me with my luggage.
No matter whether it was daily food or clothes, anything she thought I could use was stuffed into my suitcase.
"Business trips are very tiring. You must pay attention on the road."
She wiped the sweat from her forehead and said to me with a smile.
After looking at each other for a few seconds, I calmly said, "Okay".

Did she want to make up with me?
However...
It seemed impossible.
I stared at the report sheet that Fiona left angrily when we had a quarrel a few days ago, and was in a daze for a long time.
The day before my return trip, Fiona suddenly called me crying.
"Liam, my mother is sick and is in the hospital. How long will it take for you to come back? I'm scared..."
I remembered that my mother-in-law, Regina, had chronic heart disease.
