Kasie was surprised.


    Ivan let her go and reassured her with a smile, “Don’t worry. Nothing will happen.” He scratched his


    head.


    “Maybe I could work during the night while you rest.” Ivan pointed at hisputer on the desk beside


    the bed.


    “It’s okay. I think I’ll sleep in my bed. Thanks. Good night.”


    Ivan could see the vulnerability and helplessness under her brave disguise. It hurt him. He gave her


    hand aforting squeeze and said gently, “Don’t be a hero. Stay here. Trust me.”


    “But Debbie…“ “…will be mad,” she wanted to say. No matter what,


    Debbie was married to Ivan. Kasie thought she’d be miffed if she spent the night in his room.


    Ivan got it.


    “Debbie won’t mind. She loves Carlos, and she’s with him


    So, go to sleep.”


    Once again, their marriage puzzled her.

    “Why are you two married, anyway? You don’t love each other, so what’s up with that?”


    Ivan smiled.


    “Not now. It’s not the right time.”


    Kasie decided to trust him, and stay the night.


    Lying in bed, she watched Ivan working at hisputer, the glow of the screen illuminating his face.


    She tossed and turned, for God knows how long, but sleep wouldn’te.


    “Um, maybe you shoulde to bed too,” she said, sitting up.


    Ivan rubbed his forehead.


    “I’m good. Go back to sleep. I’ll crash on the sofa.”


    Kasie thought about it for a minute, and then got out of bed. She walked over to Ivan, slowly closed his


    Laptop and said, “I trust you.”


    He promised he would divorce Debbie. She believed he was a decent man and would never cross the


    line before he and Debbie got a divorce.

    When he heard this, Ivan stopped protesting. He Left the chair andy beside her on the bed.


    The next morning, Debbie felt something hit her face. She opened her eyes and found herself in


    Carlos’ arms.


    She reached out to touch her face. Then she screamed, “Ahhhhh!” She raised her head and red at


    the wheeling, skirling birds flying free in the sky.


    Carlos was roused by her scream. He hadn’t fallen asleep until dawn. He looked at her, trying to figure


    out what happened. When he finally figured it out, he couldn’t stop Laughing
