Underhanded Tricks (2)

"What do you mean?" Shen sat up, more attentive than before. If there was any danger around his wife, he wanted to at least know about it, if not follow her everywhere. 

"Well…she apologised for everything but she seemed to be holding something back. But strangely enough, to 'make up' for it, she invited me to a nightclub opening party tomorrow night" 

Shen frowned. Lina had never been interested in partying, and so far as he knew, she and Mana had never spent late nights out clubbing. 

Where was this coming from so abruptly? 

"Really?" Shen pondered, his eyes sharp as his fingers pinched the bridge of his nose. 

Lina nodded. 

"As far as my memories with Mana go, I don't ever remember she and I doing anything like this in past. We always went to cafés or quiet bars or restaurants for meals. I don't really want to go, it doesn't sound fun. But she's making an effort. So I'm going to go."
