Meanwhile, back in Country M, someone was completely oblivious to the concern he had caused for the others.
He was, for the first time in his life, experiencing quite strong feelings of attraction towards another person. Knowing that the person you like, likes you back, made Kyle giddy with happiness.
His spouse had been a sort-of arranged marriage, in the sense that they had met via introductions by their families. They dated for a while and since they were comfortable with each other, they got married.
In time, he did develop feelings for his spouse. He did love his spouse, but it was not this sort of feeling that he was experiencing with Sari.
The uncertainty? The excitement?
He couldn't quite describe it but the intensity of the feelings was rather overwhelming.
He would be thinking of her all the time, missing her when she wasn't around, having this stupid grin on his face whenever she was … all the things he was feeling was so new.
