Together, Marie and Lucas left the hospital after treating Lucas' wounds. They had even taken it upon themselves to bring that scumbag for some treatment too, even though their hearts pricked in protest while doing so. They could have left his unconscious body for the waiters in the restaurant to find, but they didn't. Weren't they such kind souls?
"I will drop you home first, then I will go back home… or do you want to stay at my place?" asked Lucas as he helped Marie into the car. He was aware of how alone she felt in her big house, so he offered to take her in, knowing that she would jump at the offer.
On the other hand, Marie had been feeling different ever since… she didn't even know when it started. For some inexplicable reason, her heart had been beating rapidly ever since they left the restaurant, and it was really starting to worry her. At the back of her mind, she knew it was because she now had a husband, but it was still so hard for her to understand.
