LANCE
I waited for her to say something. Kahit mag-asawa kami sa papel ay hindi s'ya sanay na magkatabi kami sa kama. The truth is, I am so tired from my flight that I just want to bury my face on her neck and close my eyes but why is it so hard to do? Sino ba naman kasi ang makakatulog kapag katabi ang asawa n'yang limang taon ng sinisinta?
"You can't just barge in here, Lorenzo," mahinang sabi n'ya pero may diin. At daig pa n'ya ang estatwa sa hindi n'ya pagkibo. The only difference is that she is warm. "How did you get in here anyway? This is Katherine's house."
"She let me in when I told her that I am your husband. Ipinagtimpla pa nga n'ya ako ng kape at nakilala ko rin ang asawa n'ya. Now, can I sleep?"
"Umuwi na tayo. We can't stay here," sabi n'ya sa akin at may bahid ng inis.
