Lucas could already see the bakery ahead after her hard question. He went mute as he couldn't say his wife, it would hurt her and might send her away like the other time and he'd be lying if he told her she was the one. "I don't know," was eventually his answer.
"I know," she said.
"What?" He was confused.
"It's your wife and it's okay," he was surprised to hear that.
But he killed her two times because he didn't utter an answer. She stared at his broad back and swallowed, he didn't even notice her outfit. Soon, he stopped the bicycle in front of the bakery and she climbed down immediately.
When he was off the bicycle, she looked at him with so many hopes in her eyes. When he saw that, his heart broke. "Kathryn," he wanted to start another topic but Ryan barged in by calling her name at the same time.
"Did he scold you?" Ryan asked, taking the girl's hand again.
