Swan woke up early in the morning as she felt the warmth around her suddenly disappeared before dawn. She opened her eyes and looked around only to realize that her husband wasn't there.
She sneered at herself, 'And what did you think will happen, Swan? Do you think that Gale would come to you at night, and embrace you like usual? Do you think that Gale would forgive you so easily after you've betrayed him?'
Swan found her expectation to be laughable. In fact, she wanted to laugh because last night, she dreamed about her husband coming to their marital bed, whispering sweet words in her ear, kissing her forehead and cheek, then embracing her until dawn came.
It was all such a sweet dream that she thought that everything had returned to normal.
Swan glanced at the window, wishing that her husband would leap into the room from the window, but the window was shut tight, meaning that Gale truly didn't come last night.
