    The girl had cried when she was disqualified from the show, but thepetition got the better of the


    rest of the contestants. They must have been happy to see her go since none of them went up to


    comfort her. In fact, most of them elected to stand by and watch her shed tears.


    Ian hadn''t been the most sympathetic either, but everyone else''s apathy was so obvious that he found


    himself handing the girl a piece of tissue, and the exchange constituted their first official meeting.


    Cindy paused in thought before she said, "It must have been hard for her, but if your agency has


    signed her on, it must mean that she has talent."


    The couple walked out of thepany building and hailed a passing taxi. It was only after Ian had


    gotten into the car that he replied, "Yeah, I guess she has some talent."


    They stopped talking about the girl and Cindy fished out her phone.


    She wanted to see if Valerie had responded to the rumors online, but when she searched through the


    inte, she came up with nothing. She supposed silence was a form of response as well.


    After that, she kept her phone and looped her arm through Ian''s before leaning her head against his


    shoulder.


    He would be filming on set the next day, and she would return to thepany for her day job. Hence, it


    left them a day''s worth of time toze around at home together.


    They returned to the neighborhood where they stayed, but instead of going home right away, they


    headed toward the supermarket next to thepound.


    The refrigerator was running empty and they needed to stock up on groceries. Upon entering the


    supermarket, Ian walked over to the homeware section and browsed through the aisles. Since he and


    Cindy had recently gotten married, he felt that the sheets at home needed changing.


    While they had put off the idea of holding an actual ceremony, he didn''t think it meant they had to omit


    home decorations to indicate their newly-wed status.


    As such, Ian picked out red bedsheets and his-and-hers pillowcases before cing them into the


    shopping cart. He chuckled and said a little self-deprecatingly, "You don''t even care for these things, do


    you? Maybe I''m just overly sentimental about stuff like this."


    Cindyughed. "I used to be quite the romantic as well, but after going steady with you, I view these as


    mere formalities that don''t allude much to the sentiments we have."


    Perhaps things had been so smooth-sailing between them for a while that run-of-the-mill romantic


    ideals no longer applied to them, and she did not care much for the otherwise-insignificant details that


    yed no role in solidifying their rtionship.


    Ian gently tipped her chin up and kissed her through his mask. They exchanged a brief nce and


    burst into lightheartedughter.


    Following that, they went over to the produce, poultry, and seafood sections. By the time they came out


    of the supermarket, they had amassed quite the impressive haul. At this point, Cindy was truly falling in


    love with how ordinary their lives seemed.


    They had only just reached home when Ian''s phone started ringing.


    Cindy changed into slippers and nced over at the caller ID shing on Ian''s phone screen, only to


    see that it was Logan calling.


    She looked away and brought the groceries into the kitchen.


    Meanwhile, Ian stood at the threshold and slowly slipped out of his shoes as he picked up the phone.


    Cindy was putting things into the refrigerator, and she could pick up bits and pieces of what Ian was


    saying. She heard him say, "That''s fast."


    She wasn''t sure what the conversation was about, but he sputtered contemptuously at one point and


    said, "Well, whose fault is that? She deserves the consequences of her own actions."


    He didn''t sound too happy when he said this. In the meantime, Cindy finished rearranging the things in


    the fridge and went into their bedroom with the new bedsheets in hand.


    Indeed, the red covers brightened up the room. As she stood at the foot of the bed, she had to admit


    that she and Ian were so nonchnt about their marriage that they had simply disregarded the usual


    celebration of such an event. She didn''t mind it, but that didn''t mean Ian shared the same opinion. She


    realized that he was still a romantic at the end of the day, and such ideals weren''t just limited to


    women.


    Cindy pursed her lips and changed the bedsheets mutely. Ian walked in just as she was tugging on the


    She turned to look at him curiously and asked, "What''s wrong? What was the call about?"


    He reached out to brush a hand over the covers before saying, "It was about Leah. She ran out of the


    hospital without anyone noticing before she fully recovered." He shook his head and added, "You know


    what? She''ll reap what she shows. I don''t me anyone for letting her escape, though; if she doesn''t


    care enough about her own health, it just goes to show that there''s nothing much going up in her brain


    either."
