LUCIEN carried two grocery bags while Neriah walked beside him, happily talking about the things she had done before she met him.
“You are really a mischievous one,” sabi ni Lucien habang naiiling na lamang.
Tumawa lang naman si Neriah. “Well, I grew up like this.”

“May ibang tao rito,” sabi ni Lucien.
Ngumiti si Neriah. “Alam ko. There are two of them.”
