"I just feel that we really don't get along," said Fae, trying to sound curt. "I really admire you. I fell in love with you and then married you. But the incident two months ago made me realize that we are not really compatible. You and I want different things. If we forced ourselves to stay in a bad marriage, we would only hurt each other. The resentment would grow bigger and bigger. I don't want that. So, please, let me go."
"You're lying again," said Ren, staring at Fae without blinking. His words made Fae's heart skipped a beat. "You said we didn't really get along, but you clearly kissed me back. That means you still want me. Why do you try so hard to stay away from me when your heart really wants to be with me?"
Fae swallowed hard. Ren did have a point.
