“But you suddenly had cold feet?”
“I...” I don’t know. Isthatwhat this is all about? Is this just cold feet, and nothing else?
“Am I really doing the right thing here?” I blurt out.
“You know it’s too late to ask that.”
I swallow hard. “You really think they’ll kill me if I divorce him?”

Grandma Jackie lets out a sigh. “Alright, let’s try making it easier then. Close your eyes and imagine another woman kissing Lykan.”
How dare she!
“But this woman...”
A monster!

She was just lovely earlier,hmph.
How did she end up beautiful in just a matter of seconds?
“In fact, I’d go as far as saying—objectively speaking—”
I have a bad feeling about this.
“She’s even prettier than you.”
Knew it.
“And most importantly of all, this other woman loves Lykan with all her heart, with all her mind, and all her soul.”
