    After a while, they fell asleep nestled in each other’s arms.


    Skr woke up at three in the morning and realized


    that the lights were still on. She got out of bed and turned the lights off. Then, she got back into bed.


    The second did so, Joe dragged her back into his embrace. Perhaps he badly neededpanionship on a day like this.


    Habits had ingrained themselves in Skr without her realizing. In the beginning, she’d


    felt awkward when Joe held her while they were falling asleep. Now, she was knocked out the second he held her.


    This was simr to how Skr sometimes felt like her marriage with Joe couldst for the rest of their lives.

    The next morning, they chatted leisurely at breakfast. Skr mentioned running into Rowan and Jenny at the hospital.


    The Jakemans wouldn’t let them be together,” stated Joe.


    Skr didn’tment further on it.

    Harold and Tom’s faces fell.


    “You”


    “They bragged about it to their friends afterward. Does it look like they’ve realized how problematic their actions were? Why don’t you try being bullied? T


    “Y–You can’t make such a hypothesis.” Harold and Tom were floored.

    Their mouths fell open.
