My second Merchant of Venice drabble, written on October 10th. Can be seen as a sequel to my first drabble.
Bassanio stared in shock at the servant who had just informed him of Antonio's departure. He could not believe it. Why would Antonio leave? He looked at his wife, hoping for an answer.
Portia hesitated, guessing Antonio's reason but reluctant to tell Bassanio. When she saw his sad, pleading eyes however, she changed her mind. Having him as a husband was what she had hoped for but no matter what she wished, she wanted him to be happy. She took a deep breath, hoping she would still have a husband tomorrow. "Because he is in love with you," she answered.
