Love or dream

Varell opened the lunch box that Mia had given him, steam was still steaming over the buttered rice with the omelet on top. A simple dish that reminded him of the good times in London before a storm rocked their marriage.

 With a smile that kept etched on his face, Varell devoured Mia's buttered rice, the taste was still the same.

 Nothing has changed except for their strained relationship.

 His chewing was restrained, why should he hold back the happiness that should belong to both of them if he and Mia can live happily without any burdens?

 Varell quickly finished Mia's buttered rice and drank it without a break before finally sprinting out of his room.

 Varell could not bear to meet Mia and hug her warmly, no longer limiting the happiness that was on their side.
