They thought that their unexpected encounter was an isolated incident. However, fate had something else in mind, as they find their way back in each other’s arms, not in a passionate embrace but with a contract that would bind them for a long time. Would their agreement fulfill their dreams, or would it end in a disastrous union?

Something did not seem right to him. Or something was missing. Maybe because, technically, he never intended to cheat. It was a mistake that should not have happened.
"I have a confession to tell you." He tried another approach. Still, he felt lost for words. He could not think of the right thing to say to her.
He guessed nothing he would say would make his action right. He had to live with his misdeed and the consequences.
