A Sweet Surprise

"If Jim was this selfless, why couldn't I?"

Feeling defeated, Giselle looked into Anthon's eyes. She could not really fathom the depth of his reasoning. This was not a mere child's play that if one lost the game, it could just be restarted anytime. Or, if one got bored, they could just stop or pick another one. This was a lifetime commitment that one should not put at stake. He was just as coward as a dog who keeps on barking when it felt endangered, but would quickly run away when assaulted.

How could she ever understand? What if she really had become her husband? She'd perhaps die many times due to his extreme holiness!

Finally, she found her words. "If I were you, I would kidnap her and run away! Unfortunately, you are just good in wagging your tails but does not even know how to bite at all! Even if your only piece of bone is taken away."

Ughhh! This hurt, she thought, but it was better said that way.
