“I thought we talked about this on our first date.

Ruben’s heart pounded in panic, but he quickly reminded himself of one thing, Courage loves me too much to doubt me.

Deciding to gamble on that trust, he put on a look of innocent surprise.

“You won’t believe what happened today,” he said, shaking his head with an exaggerated sigh.

“One of the janitors was absent, so guess who decided to step in?

Walking around in a janitor’s uniform, mopping floors, it felt weird, but hey, I’ve always been humble, so I just did it.

“Is that true?” she asked, her voice calm, too calm.

Ruben felt a momentary chill but pushed through it with a confident nod.

“Yes, of course!

That’s exactly what happened.” She clenched her fists at her sides, resisting the urge to slap him across the face for lying so easily.

He had deceived her for two whole years.

And yet… she still loved him.

It wasn’t fair, it wasn’t logical, but she couldn’t stop herself.

She took a slow breath, then went straight to the point.
