Caught off guard, Walter hit the sofa. Clara also fell backward and landed on the ground.
The lounge’s lights were voice–activated. Lights came on suddenly. Everything became visible, including their disarray.

Walter turned livid. Did his disgust her that much? So Clara still couldn’t forget that person. Her were reserved for that man.

After being together for three years, Clara understood him well. Walter was going to explode. When she gave birth prematurely three years ago, he was the same. Clara still didn’t understand why.
