"So," wika ni Anthony, bahagyang nakasandal sa upuan, titig kay Celeste. "You want to be a good wife." Tumango si Celeste. "At least... bago matapos ang lahat." "Do you really mean it to be just like that?" "Iyon naman ang gusto mo 'di ba?" "It was you who decided first, regarding sa pinipilit sa atin na annulment." Hindi nagsalita si Celeste. Tumayo na ito, inumpisahang ligpitin ang mga plato. Pero bago nito madala sa kusina ang mga plato ay pinatigil niya ito. Tumayo rin siya, hinawakan ang braso nito at inilagay ang mga plato sa lamesa. "Anthony---" Pinutol ni Anthony ang gustong sabihin ng asawa. "I don't need good food," sabi niya. "I don't need effort na parang utang na loob. I need you. Buo. Present." Marahan niyang iniangat ang kamay at inilagay sa pisngi ni Celeste. "At kung ginagawa mo 'to dahil sa guilt," dagdag niya, "then let me be selfish for once." "Selfish how?" halos pabulong na tanong ni Celeste. Lumapit pa siya, sapat lang para maramdaman ni Celeste ang init ng katawan niya, ang amoy ng alak sa hininga niya. "Because being a good wife," sabi ni Anthony, diretso ang tingin, "means choosing your husband. Not pushing him away." Naramdaman ni Anthony ang paninigas ni Celeste. Sinubukan nitong alisin ang tingin sa kanya, pero hindi niya ito pinagbigyan. Sa halip, naging matigas ang kamay niya sa paghawak sa mukha nito. "Kasama doon ang pagiging asawa ko... sa lahat ng paraan."
