Melissa glanced down at the lobby again and sighed, “You know, some couples stick together for years, but in the end, they still can’t compete with an innocent or seductive face. Everyone should weigh marriage carefully.”

“Come on, don’t worry about it. You and Zachary are so in love right now. Don’t let my problems get you down.

“Sure, marriage isn’t always perfect, but it’s not all bad either. There are always people out there who are happy,” I said gently, trying to reassure her.

Melissa smiled and nodded.

Suddenly, Jared and Tracy stepped out, followed by a middle–aged man who looked to be in his fifties. The three of them stood in the hallway outside the private room, talking.

Tracy looked bashful and sweet, her hands clasped together, head down as she stared at her shoes.

Jared was smiling as he spoke with the middle–aged man, who suddenly reached out and ruffled Tracy’s hair, his face full of affection.

Jared glanced at Tracy, too, with an approving smile on his face.

Tracy was acting all cute and coy with the middle–aged man, even leaning on his shoulder. She was nothing like the strict, authoritative woman from the office. Right now, she looked just like a daughter sweet–talking her dad.
