I can't believe that man left me at such an intense moment. I despise cliffhangers.

What thoughts should occupy my mind? What will be the outcome? Did Theo truly unlock the locket? Perhaps he did. His love was pure, and that's what is needed to break the spell.

Love stories like theirs are fictional. Who will love in reality like they do?

I wish I could be so lucky to experience a love like that.

With a deep breath, I stroll aimlessly down the street, feeling the cold breeze against my icy skin, further chilling my body.

I rub my hands together, trying to generate some warmth. It is quite cold here today. Mumbling to myself, I continue to wander, my feet taking me further away.

What's amusing to me is that their story resembles my dreams. When Jade was lost in the dark forest, Theo saved him. I remember having the same dream, waking up in a cave with an elf.

Isn't it funny? I chuckle to myself.

My eyes catch sight of a couple, truly spouses. I don't know why I'm drawn to them. Maybe it's because the girl is also freezing, and the boy wraps his arms around her, giving her a warm feeling.

It's cute.

I smile and continue my journey.

Theo,

I don't understand why I glance at the opposite sidewalk, which is slightly farther away. And there, I find someone staring at me, none other than my husband.

Seeing him in the bustling street makes my feet feel glued to the ground. I don't know what it is, but my heart tugs with a sense of desperation. It feels like the first time I'm truly seeing him. My surroundings become unnoticed, almost blurry. The only person I can see and hear is him. His heartbeat resonates with so many emotions, yet his gaze remains blank.

Something about his eyes has always intrigued me. Those hazel orbs feel like heavenly honey mixed with a touch of hellfire. A hint of red in his brown pools.

His dark hair dances in the air, making him even more enchanting, fascinating, perfect, divine, and dreamy...

If only I could...

Wait, is it acceptable to hold these emotions for him? He was my friend before and then betrayed me, forcing me into this marriage.
