Though Amy is distressed for acting like a spoiled girlfriend, she felt happy when thinking about their exchange. Even while packing her thinks she kept on giggling. If the people who actually knew her saw this, they would have fainted from shock.
Meanwhile Ryan is satisfied. He knew today his relationship with his wife has improved, even if it was very subtle.
At the afternoon, Ryan reached home early than their appointed time. One reason, he was totally distracted at work and the next reason he badly missed his wife. So he decided to rush home to spend some time with her.
Amy is surprised to see her husband's early arrival. When she heard the sound of his car, she ran towards downstairs. Upon reaching the living room, she caught her breath and pushed down the excitement in her heart.
Taking out a journal, she "casually" sat on the couch pretending to be reading it.
When she heard the familiar footsteps, her heart started beating like crazy. She refused to look up and glued her eyes on the pages of the journal.
Ryan is taken aback to see his wife at the living room. Moreover she seems to be totally unaware of his arrival. This dampened his mood, but when he saw her checking him out with the sides of her eyes he nearly burst out laughing.
But as a good husband he decided to play along with her instead of exposing her. So all he could do is to swallow his laughter. When he neared her, Amy looked up and gave him a calm and composed smile. "You're early?"
At the outset, Amy looked calm but only she knew the fact that she is frantically trying to subdue her heartbeat. "Damn!! This heart!! why can't it just listen to me?"
Ryan returned her smile and nodded. "Mmm.. finished my work fast."
Fast??..He didn't even manage to do any work thinking about his wife. He kept smiling like a fool, which nearly gave a scare to his subordinates.
"So..Have you finished packing?" He continued.
"Mmm.. I have"
"Is it ok for you if we grab our lunch on the way?"
"En"
While answering, Amy kept looking at the journal. She believed that if she continued looking at her husband, her poor heart will not be able to handle it.
Ryan is feeling a bit loss, as he has no idea what is going on within the mind of his wife. So he just excused himself to his room to get refreshed.
Once he left, Amy threw the journal on the table feeling relaxed. She clutched her hands near her heart.
"It's tough... it's tough... It's a good thing for me to stay at Rachel's for a while. Or else who knows what I'll do to my husband.
She heaved a sigh of relief upon remembering this. She really doesn't want to pounce on her husband unable to control her emotions.
