Nina suddenly realized, "So he knew all along." She had not said anything, but Scott understood it all too well. Yvonne looked at her and chuckled, "That's why not everyone can remain committed, Nina. Just be content." Nina fell into deep thought. What did she have to be discontented about?

The two chatted for a while longer before Yvonne emerged. Scott was still standing at the doorway. Seeing Yvonne come out, he asked, "Is she feeling better?"

Yvonne said, "Your mind is all on Nina. She's much better now. Don't worry, she's coming to terms with it. In her marriage with Nash, she had already envisioned the ending, though she still harbored dreams of growing old with him if luck was on her side. But dreams eventually must yield to reality."

Scott fell silent, a trace of worry crossing his face. These years must have been tough on Nina too.

Yvonne walked over, gripping the railing of the corridor. "I put in a good word for you."

Taking a deep breath, she looked out the window. "I certainly want her to be happy. And since you care for her so much, and can bring her happiness, I hope she considers those around her more. Life isn't long, finding someone who loves you wholeheartedly is rare. If you two can have a happy ending, that would be the best outcome."

Scott looked at Yvonne gratefully. "Thank you."

Yvonne smiled back at him. "No need to thank me. Don't forget, I'm Nina's best friend. I only want what's best for her."
