There was a moment of silence between Heaven and Dominic, staring into each other's eyes as if that were the only way to understand their hearts.
[I didn't want to ruin what could last a lifetime.]
What a way to apologize.
Surely, he wasn't perfect. But, for sure, Dominic knew how to say the right things when necessary.
It was true Heaven already understood his intentions, but she couldn't help but get upset with him. However, she thought he would need time to think things through before he was ready to talk. Who would have thought he would take action immediately?
Even so, Heaven appreciated his transparency. That was the marriage she wanted the moment she decided to keep this marriage. If she was going to live as Heaven Liu, she wanted to live her life on her own terms. A life and marriage where she was not afraid of showing other emotions that could deem her as weak.
