I noticed that Melinda was a little annoyed every time one of the cabin crew addressed her in Chinese. “I speak Vietnamese, not Chinese and they insist on talking to me in Chinese.

I called to my wife through the door to her walk-in closet. "I know, honey... I'm being too much right now, really. Of course he can come for the weekend. He's your friend, after all." My beau...
Yes, I am a good husband. I am kind and caring, I have a healthy sense of obligation and do what is expected of me without anyone telling me, and I am faithful and loyal.

Chapter 1. The Awakening. Lucy looked at him across the table, her brown, almond-shaped eyes boring into his. "Thank you for a wonderful meal. I'm glad you invited me."
