Joshua gritted his teeth and cracked his neck. “Who told you that?” asked Joshua with coldness. There was a slight breeze around her, and the atmosphere seemed to drop below zero.

Emily trembled at his near glowing eyes. She became frightened. She said with a quivering voice, “It doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter anymore. It doesn’t matter who told me. For we could never turn back time to fix what was done.”

“Done what!” demanded Joshua.

“It’s all over now.” Emily wiggled herself free.

Joshua chuckled at her. He looked like an insane man.

Emily frowned at him.

Joshua laughed loudly.

“What- What is it?” asked Emily.

Joshua shook his head at her.

“Wife?” asked Emily.

“Odd, he called me that twice now,” she thought.
