The hours passed with hearty Filipino dish, fresh garlic bread with cheese and herbs, and a bottle of Chianti- that her father insist on buying for special occasions despite their financial problem. By the time they retired to the living room for espresso, a nice buzz hummed in Deniahs' blood, fueled by good food and good conversation.
Lumipat ang tingin niya kay Dark nang umupo ito sa tabi niya sa lumang beige sofa nang may konting distansya.
Misery etched out his features.
Nakinig siya sa mga kwento ng kanyang mga kapatid, nakitawa, and did a perfect job of looking like a gentleman. Except tumingin sa kanyang mga mata, iiwas sa tuwing akma niya itong hahawakan, at higit sa lahat hindi siya umakto ayon sa kanilang usapan- to act like the besotted fiance he was supposed to be.
Humigop
