Thersia's heart felt like a heavy stone, weighed down by the sad state of her marriage. For a second, she got lost in her fantasy and dream land world. How could she think this was something other than a cold contract marriage? She was actually grateful to him because his words had slapped her back into the real world and she couldn't stop herself from feeling a little pang of sadness. As they drove home in silence, she gazed out the window, her mind going through the chaotic events of the day. She had been so caught up in the excitement of shopping and the confrontation with the she devil that she momentarily forgot her place The rest of the day passed in a blur, Thersia going through the whole dinner and evening routine with zero enthusiasm. Luka was distant, as always.
