  &quot;Daniel?&quot;
  &quot;Yes?&quot;
  &quot;Have you gotten another job?&quot;
  &quot;No... But I can always get another.&quot;
  &quot;That s so ridiculous. You want to beat Michael?&quot; She laughed again. &quot;Aren t you even scared of standing up to him?&quot;
  &quot;Why? He isn t that much taller than I am. Yes, he might be strong but I am too,&quot; he said, beating his chest.
  She laughed again. This time she almost choked on her laughter. But he was right though, Daniel was almost as tall as Michael, though not of the same build, but strong. Still, something about Michael can make a man stronger than him feel intimidated, perhaps it was in the way he carried himself or maybe because he was once a fighter.

  She stood up with Daniel offering her a hand up, she could barely keep her eyes open. Standing on tiptoe, she placed a kiss on his cheek before she sauntered off to the room where she was going to spend the night.

  &quot;Just calm down Mitch,&quot; he said. It wasn t your fault. You have always been too soft-hearted and I knew that was why you agreed to the marriage. Because he had said, he stood to make some people happy.&quot; 
  &quot;Aren t you going to tell me you told me it wasn t a good idea then?&quot; She asked, looking at him with eyes filled with tears.
  &quot;No... I m not,&quot; he said, moving closer to her and offering her his handkerchief to wipe away her tears. But they still keep pouring, even faster now like a pool of flowing water.
  &quot;Why?&quot; She asked between a sob

  &quot;You just hurt my pride,&quot; he said sadly
