Communication in Bed

When James pushed open a room of the Imperial Club, he was attacked by the pungent smell of alcohol.

"Well, you're finally here. Aren't you supposed to be with your wife?" Rory's teased.

James pretended he didn't hear it. He made a beeline to Silence, sat down, and pushed the drink in front of him away.

"Tell me. What's your problem?"

"What's my problem? My grandparents are urging me to get married. There is nothing wrong with it." Silence gave a self-mocking sneer.

When he was reaching for another glass of drink, James frowned and stopped him.

"Since there's nothing wrong, why are you looking for your cousin?"

"Good question. Why am I looking for her?"

What should he do if he let her go?

Only when she was by his side did he feel like he was alive. Ever since she went abroad, he felt like he was living in hell.

His world was dark.

Every time he closed his eyes, he could only see her face.
