p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Levi was obviously enjoying his tea so much that he didn't even consider the delicious pastries on the table and asked for a refill, you stared at him amused while your grandma was giving you her latest news, and she didn't fail to notice that her words went threw your ears without any deep consideration./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Your grandmother: Anyway, enough about me, how about you tell me your story./span/p

p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Your grandmother: no, your story (pointing to both of you), I accept your marriage but I still would like the details and your reasons for not telling me about this sooner./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"You looked at levi slightly taken by surprise, neither of you thought about that kind of details and now you were cornered. You knew that there was no way in hell that levi would get you out of this one, you were completely on your own on this one./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Y/N: well, it's a long and complicated story, really./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Your grandmother: I have time to hear it with every single boring detail./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Y/N: hm, …well…you see we…/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Levi: we dated for two years, at first, we kept it a secret from everyone but when it got serious, we thought that informing the rest of the higherups was in order. A few months ago, I proposed to her, but I insisted on keep the relationship secret from the rest of the army, it would be a hinderance for us and specially for her. And we got married in secret for the same reason, I apologies for excluding you from this but it seemed the best route to take regarding our status as soldiers./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Your grandmother: I will try to understand as best as I can, however I would have loved to throw my dear Y/N a grand wedding party./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Y/N: we wouldn't have agreed to that granma, we are still keeping our relationship a secret, I didn't want people to think I was getting favors as the captain's girlfriend./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Your grandmother: and this has nothing to do with the corporal's citizenship problem? /span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"You both fell silent for a second, your grandma was a nice person but definitely not stupid, and it was more than predictable that the MPs would get the word out to your family about that citizenship problem. You looked at levi, and you could see through his slight change of expression that he was getting uncomfortable, so you took his hand and looked at your granma./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Y/N: It's true that levi had some administrative troubles, and may I say that those were totally made up since he already had his citizenship and they canceled it for no reason, however we were getting married sooner or later, we were engaged way before this whole problem started. I wanted to rush with the marriage because I didn't feel like losing him, it's enough that I have to go through the fear of losing him every time we step outside the walls, I wasn't going to stand by while he was going through that kind of trouble./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"From the corner of your eye, you could see levi slightly surprised by your words and to your surprise he gave your hand a small squeeze to show his appreciation, you had to admit that this gesture gave you butterflies and your cheeks got slightly tinted./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Your grandmother: I think I can understand that, you seem to genuinely care and love each other, it's nice to see that in our times, love has become so rare nowadays./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"You waited for levi to say something but he simply nodded and resumed sipping his tea./span/p

p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"After having quit a pleasant dinner you were escorted to the room you were going to share with levi, it was predictable so you were kind of mentally prepared for it, you had changed into your silk pajama's and levi was wearing a plan white shirt and blue pants./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Y/N: You look weird./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Levi (crooking one of his eyebrows) : you mean out of the uniform?/span/p

p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Y/N: never mind here's the constant picture, you and your tea always and forever em(yup an originals reference XD)span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span/embut honey I am not budging until you ask me nicely./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Levi: how about go get me my tea or pushups until you drop right here right now?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Y/N: be right back./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"You got a tray with two cups of tea, one for each of you, and on your way back you bumped into your granma, she scanned you for a few seconds and then said./span/p

p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Your grandmother: Y/N you're a new bride you are note supposed to be dressing like that, otherwise your husband will get bored of you, he is a very attractive man and women will definitely try to take him away from you./span/p

p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"You followed her to her room, she went into her huge dressing room and came out with a box that she handed to you./span/p

p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"You opened it and to your surprise it was a very short and revealing black nightwear with a slightly transparent robe./span/p

p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Your grandmother: why not? I thought you would like it./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Y/N: that's not it , I mean .. what if a servant sees me in it? I'll just take it with me and wear it when I get to my room./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Your grandmother: your room is just across the hall and everybody is sleeping, wear it only than you can go.

p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"You had to do as told, a few minutes later you regained your room, you went in quietly hoping that levi wouldn't notice you until you reached the cover on the couch, it worked for a few moments since levi was focused on the book he was reading./span/p

p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Later that night you were soundly sleeping when you got kicked in the foot, you opened your eyes a little, and slightly annoyed by the fact that you were dragged out of a nice dream.

p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Y/N: Levi, hey wake up (you shook his arm gently)./span/p

p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"He woke up in sweats, panting so hard that it looked physically exhausting, you saw him looking around the room as if he was trying to take in his surroundings./span/p

p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"He snapped to the sound of your voice, as if he hadn't noticed your presence up until now./span/p

p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"He got up and poured himself a cup of water, it was barely noticeable but you saw his hand shaking, it must have been a terrible dream for him to be al wrecked like that, he is so stoic all the time that you end up thinking that he has no feelings but in the end he is still as human as your are, he is just way too good at hiding his pain. At that moment, every inch of you was yearning to go embrace him and wash away his pain, but you held yourself back because deep down that name kept ringing in your ears./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Your POV:/span/p

p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"He didn't say anything, but you could tell that all this family thing was starting to confuse him since he probably has never known what having a family truly is./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Y/N: how about we head to the garden, I am starving./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Time skip to a few minutes later in the garden:/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Levi was obviously enjoying his tea so much that he didn't even consider the delicious pastries on the table and asked for a refill, you stared at him amused while your grandma was giving you her latest news, and she didn't fail to notice that her words went threw your ears without any deep consideration./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Your grandmother: Anyway, enough about me, how about you tell me your story./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Y/N: My story ?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Your grandmother: no, your story (pointing to both of you), I accept your marriage but I still would like the details and your reasons for not telling me about this sooner./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"You looked at levi slightly taken by surprise, neither of you thought about that kind of details and now you were cornered. You knew that there was no way in hell that levi would get you out of this one, you were completely on your own on this one./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Y/N: well, it's a long and complicated story, really./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Your grandmother: I have time to hear it with every single boring detail./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Y/N: hm, …well…you see we…/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Levi: we dated for two years, at first, we kept it a secret from everyone but when it got serious, we thought that informing the rest of the higherups was in order. A few months ago, I proposed to her, but I insisted on keep the relationship secret from the rest of the army, it would be a hinderance for us and specially for her. And we got married in secret for the same reason, I apologies for excluding you from this but it seemed the best route to take regarding our status as soldiers./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Your grandmother: I will try to understand as best as I can, however I would have loved to throw my dear Y/N a grand wedding party./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Y/N: we wouldn't have agreed to that granma, we are still keeping our relationship a secret, I didn't want people to think I was getting favors as the captain's girlfriend./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Your grandmother: and this has nothing to do with the corporal's citizenship problem? /span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"You both fell silent for a second, your grandma was a nice person but definitely not stupid, and it was more than predictable that the MPs would get the word out to your family about that citizenship problem. You looked at levi, and you could see through his slight change of expression that he was getting uncomfortable, so you took his hand and looked at your granma./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Y/N: It's true that levi had some administrative troubles, and may I say that those were totally made up since he already had his citizenship and they canceled it for no reason, however we were getting married sooner or later, we were engaged way before this whole problem started. I wanted to rush with the marriage because I didn't feel like losing him, it's enough that I have to go through the fear of losing him every time we step outside the walls, I wasn't going to stand by while he was going through that kind of trouble./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"From the corner of your eye, you could see levi slightly surprised by your words and to your surprise he gave your hand a small squeeze to show his appreciation, you had to admit that this gesture gave you butterflies and your cheeks got slightly tinted./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Your grandmother: I think I can understand that, you seem to genuinely care and love each other, it's nice to see that in our times, love has become so rare nowadays./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"You waited for levi to say something but he simply nodded and resumed sipping his tea./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Time skip to later in the night:/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"After having quit a pleasant dinner you were escorted to the room you were going to share with levi, it was predictable so you were kind of mentally prepared for it, you had changed into your silk pajama's and levi was wearing a plan white shirt and blue pants./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Y/N: You look weird./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Levi (crooking one of his eyebrows) : you mean out of the uniform?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Y/N: no, without paperwork, I am so used to seeing you at your desk it became a constant picture in my head./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Levi: weirdo, how about you go get me a cup of that tea instead of making silly comments./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Y/N: never mind here's the constant picture, you and your tea always and forever em(yup an originals reference XD)span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span/embut honey I am not budging until you ask me nicely./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Levi: how about go get me my tea or pushups until you drop right here right now?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Y/N: be right back./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"You got a tray with two cups of tea, one for each of you, and on your way back you bumped into your granma, she scanned you for a few seconds and then said./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Your grandmother : are you sleeping in that ?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Y/N: euh yes, why do you not like it?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Your grandmother: Y/N you're a new bride you are note supposed to be dressing like that, otherwise your husband will get bored of you, he is a very attractive man and women will definitely try to take him away from you./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Y/N (you were blushing so hard that your words were leavings your brain): I … no, I mean it's not like that …. We're …ahm…/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Your grandmother: come with me./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"You followed her to her room, she went into her huge dressing room and came out with a box that she handed to you./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Your grandmother : here, think of it as one of your wedding gifts, oh and your are not leaving unless you wear it./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"You opened it and to your surprise it was a very short and revealing black nightwear with a slightly transparent robe./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Y/N: noooo, I couldn't possibly wear that !/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Your grandmother: why not? I thought you would like it./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Y/N: that's not it , I mean .. what if a servant sees me in it? I'll just take it with me and wear it when I get to my room./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Your grandmother: your room is just across the hall and everybody is sleeping, wear it only than you can go. Look I understand how tough it must be to maintain a couple while your lives are constantly in danger but that doesn't mean that you should let yourself go. Now quite the whining and go change./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"You had to do as told, a few minutes later you regained your room, you went in quietly hoping that levi wouldn't notice you until you reached the cover on the couch, it worked for a few moments since levi was focused on the book he was reading./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Levi: you have a nice book collect…, what the hell are you wearing?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Y/N: a gift from granma, she wouldn't let me go unless I wore it. I'm sorry about that./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Levi: (eyed you from head to toe) I am not./span/p

p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Levi: you heard me, usually you're the one to check me out, guess it's my turn./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"You had to admit the situation was starting to become amusing./span/p

p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Levi: (taking the cup) kitchen duty for two weeks when we go back./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Y/N: you are impossible, I'm going to sleep./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Later that night you were soundly sleeping when you got kicked in the foot, you opened your eyes a little, and slightly annoyed by the fact that you were dragged out of a nice dream. Beside you, you saw Levi tossing and turning violently, he was clearly having a nightmare./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Y/N: Levi, hey wake up (you shook his arm gently)./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Levi: (still sleeping) ...no, Isabel noo!/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"He woke up in sweats, panting so hard that it looked physically exhausting, you saw him looking around the room as if he was trying to take in his surroundings./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Y/N: are you alright? /span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"He snapped to the sound of your voice, as if he hadn't noticed your presence up until now./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Levi: (regaining his composure) it's nothing, go back to sleep./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Y/N: Do you want to talk about it./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Levi: there is nothing to talk about, brat./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"He got up and poured himself a cup of water, it was barely noticeable but you saw his hand shaking, it must have been a terrible dream for him to be al wrecked like that, he is so stoic all the time that you end up thinking that he has no feelings but in the end he is still as human as your are, he is just way too good at hiding his pain. At that moment, every inch of you was yearning to go embrace him and wash away his pain, but you held yourself back because deep down that name kept ringing in your ears./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Your POV:/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"emspan lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Isabel/span/emspan lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;", who is that? I don't think I've ever met someone by that name in the survey, is it his former lover? yeah that's probably it, he wouldn't get like that for someone he doesn't care about. I wonder what happened to her, is she still alive or…/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Levi: hey, what's up with that face ?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Y/N: if you cheat on me I will scar you for life./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Levi: what was that, cadet L/N?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Y/N: this is not cadet L/N speaking, this is your so called wife, I know we are not a real couple, but if word gets out that you my "husband" is cheating on me, I will scar you, I see it as lack of respect towards me and I will make you pay for it./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Levi: what the f*ck is up with you all of a sudden ?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Y/N: I've seen my father cheat on my mother so many times, and even though she knew and it hurt her she never said anything about it or did anything against it, what I'm telling is I will not be that kind of woman, I haven't asked for anything in exchange for marrying you but I will ask you this, if you plan on having a relationship with another woman, respect me enough to come and divorce me first./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Levi: are you out of your sh*tty mind, I already told you what I thought about those sorts of things./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Y/N: keep my words in the back of your mind then, good night./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"I pulled the covers over my head and squeezed my eyes shut, something about all this seemed out of place, no wonder he doesn't understand me even I don't understand me nor where all that cheating speech came from. I'm probably too tired to think anyway./span/p
