"In the end, I told a lie. I said I still had some footing left to lure Brandon closer. Then, I grabbed him and jumped off the balcony… Husband, do you know?

Ella lifted her face in a smile. Eric took a deep breath and tightly held her hand. "Ella, do you really need to joke like this? Your imagination is wild—you should write novels."
Ella burst into laughter. "You really don't believe me?"
Eric shook his head and smirked mischievously. "I only believe in my wife, not the Ella from your story."
Ella blinked. "What if I told you it was true? Would you be put off?"
