The end Part III

“If I didn’t love you, would I have let you hug me for this long? Right now, we’re already divorced, too.”

Sakunthara smiled even though she had tears on her cheeks. “You should have waited to hear the ending.”

“I have never seen the country of Peru,” the young woman hinted at him, but he turned it around and teased her further.
