Last Updated:

Because she was weak, Scarlett managed to actually fall asleep amid all the pretense.
When she woke up again, it was four in the morning. Francis was long gone, even as the scent of his cologne hung faintly in the air.
At night, Scarlett felt more emotionally fragile than she had in the past few weeks. Lying in the hospital bed, Scarlett held the quilt that smelled strongly of disinfectant and couldn’t help but cry.

He stood there, worried, wondering how he would pull this off. Although he had been called in to help style Scarlett, he noticed that Scarlett wasn’t even there yet!

She had dressed very casually: she was wearing a black blouse and some ripped skinny jeans. On the other hand, Francis was dressed in business casual and looked exceedingly suave.It was as if the dress had been made to measure for her. Once she changed into it, it fit her just like a glove.

Francis and Scarlett stood in a tearful embrace. The heat between them was unmistakable. Francis was the one who broke the silence.He said, “If you stayed here, Scarlett, I knew that you would be like a fledgling sparrow trapped in a cage forever. I didn’t understand this properly before, but I think it would have been much better for me to just focus on giving you a wonderful life without any worries... I kept trying to shield you from every possible danger, but that’s not realistic.

On your own terms.”“What made you change your mind?”“I just want you to be you.” he smiled slightly a

Chuck just smiled and said, “It’s not a bad idea for you to go to France if you ask me. I think you’ll have a good time, and learn a lot, too. It’s my personal opinion that everyone should spend some time away from home to really be able to find who they are and what they’re most passionate about, you know what I mean?”Scarlett stopped looking at Francis, and for the first time, she felt a little scared and said, “Why do you all have that faith in me? What if I fuck it up somehow?”“Does that matter?” Chuck raised his eyebrows without care and said, “You can always just come back if you don’t like there. We are still friends, and we will always be here waiting for you. Your home will always be here.”Scarlett raised her glass and took a l

I want to be able to balance my family with my ambitions.”In recent days, Scarlett found that she loved Francis much more than she had realized before. From the moment he had shown her that he could let her go, she wanted nothing more than to fall right back into his arms.“I don’t want a divorce. How can you do that to me?

Her head felt heavy.“You’re awake!” Francis said as he walked into the bedroom from the balcony. He smiled at her. “I thought you’d be out for hours. Aren’t you jetlagged? How long was the flight from Lisbon to Irving anyway? And didn’t you have a stopover in Dallas?”Scarlett rested her head on Francis’s shoulder and said, “Well, I wanted to go to bed early last night. No thanks to you, we ended up staying up so late! I barely got enough sleep. You’re exhausting me, Francis!”“Oh? Am I? I’m so sorry, Scarlett.” Francis teased.

What’s going to happen to us while you’re gone? At least try to see if you can come back sooner….” Francis moaned unhappily. He hated being away from his wife.“Carlos will take care of his sisters, and besides, Brittany and Shannon are very good kids.” Scarlett comforted gently. “You don’t have to worry about anything.”“I’m not talking about them.
