Ambush?

"Didn't you say you are afraid?" Esther felt a little touched by Terence's short words.

Because she was afraid, he put away the painting of his ex-wife...

It was impossible and it should not be. How could Terence be so considerate? Moreover, he didn't love Esther at all!

"Terence!" Esther took a deep breath and vowed, "When we get back, I will throw away all of James's photos!"

Terence smiled, looked up at her, and asked, "Do you still keep his photos?"

Esther stuck out her tongue and said embarrassedly, "I...I forgot. I will do it when I get back to the Cusacks."

"No need."

"Why?"

Terence answered with self-deprecating humor and a sad look, "Even if you throw all his photos away, you can still see him every day." Esther then knew that he must have thought of Shirly who he would never see again in his life.
