"Can I come?" Somehow Elena asked that. Makes Brian stare absently and shakes his head.
"No. I think Elise wants to discuss something important with me." Brian went straight to the cashier leaving Elena staring at his back in silence.
Elena pondered what Brian said. She felt stupid about herself. Why did she want to be involved in the conversation between husband and wife? She is just a stranger and they have shared privacy. She shouldn't want to know about that.
"Come on, I'll drive you before going to the apartment," Brian asked after returning from paying their food bill. Elena nodded and grabbed her small bag. Walk out with Brian.

Brian immediately took off his shoes when he entered the apartment. He walked in and saw Elise who walked quickly towards him and immediately hugged him tightly.
"I miss you," Elise whispered. To which Brian answered immediately.
