"Babe, I had no idea. I'm really sorry. And now I feel even worse, because I am not a good husband. I know you have taken a lot of craps from my family while you were still dealing with this. God, I feel like an asshole," said Kevin.
Kevin felt trapped. He didn't want to move to the capital city, so he married Leena to avoid being reassigned. He didn't want to be that far away from Daisy. And he knew that if she hadn't been something that he clung to out of desperation, they probably would still be strangers. And today, one-night stands were pretty common. People didn't just hop out of bed and into marriage just like that. She didn't have to marry him. But he married her to protect his own interests. And really, what did that do to her? All it did was to make her suspicious and bring her pain. But now, he was no longer using her. He really felt something for her.
"What's wrong with you, Kevin? Why are you getting so emotional? It's not like you. And frankly, it's kind a freaking me out. So what's going on? Are you trying to work up the nerve to tell me it's over? Or what?" asked Leena. Unconsciously, she trembled a bit. After all, for a long time, Kevin was dignified and awe-inspiring. He gave her heart a warm feeling. It was really not like him to be so indecisive.
"Or nothing. I don't have any earth-shattering news. I just want to tell you if you have any doubts about me, just ask. I'm your hubby, right? You should be able to ask me everything you want to know or tell me everything you have suffered. I wouldn't get upset. We're both adults," explained Kevin. He gently released her from his arms, and then looked into her eyes. He gave her the right to rein him in with a gentle tone that Leena had never heard before. There was no

The sun spread its golden rays over the city, revealing all its glorious sights. After talking with Kevin last night, Claire actually started to warm up to Leena. She wasn't as confrontational as she was before.
"Claire, I'm going to hang out with a friend today. Can you stay at home by yourself?" Leena asked. Today was Patricia's blind date, and she wanted Leena along for moral support, and as an exit plan if things went south. She picked out some black items from her closet. That way she wouldn't steal the limelight from Patricia.
"Go! Have fun! I'll just catch some Zs. I didn't get a lot of sleep last night," answered Claire. Although she didn't really want to stay home alone, she was still considerate and decided not to make a fuss.
"Alright. I'll be back before dinner. So don't worry. You'll get fed tonight." To hide her beauty, Leena donned a pair of ordinary glasses. Instantly, she looked a tad less attractive. This was intentional -- this was Patricia's day.
