On Friday morning, James and Serene were in their bedroom, even though James was still sleeping on the sofa, the atmosphere was good. He promised himself that he would try harder to take care of Serene and his baby.

Every morning before he went to work he would massage Serene's legs and her back and spend time talking to his baby. Serene looked at James and said, "James, I'm sorry that I hurt you and I'm sorry for taking your love for granted.
