"Love, noun. A temporary insanity curable by marriage."
-Ambrose Bierce
The negotiation was finally over with her soon-to-be husband.
Husband. Long Jie. A long who she was supposed to loathe but she couldn't. she shuddered at the thought of marrying him. Of all the people out there, her father selected him for her. The man she declared arrogant and presumptuous was going to be her husband.
The way he gazed at her when he thought no one was looking shook her heart with the strange emotions she couldn't comprehend. One thing was clear, the emotions were anything but the giddy feeling one get when they meet their lover or the butterflies one get, described in those classical love novels.
Suddenly, she was aware of his effect on her.
She never knew his grey eyes were capable of hypnotizing. They looked thoroughly distinct from the pictures she saw earlier.
His messy yet perfect dark hair looked lovely yet elegant.
