CHAPTER 10

I DON’T THINK SHE LOVES ME

The following day Emmy was eating some banana bread that Rhoda made in the coffee shop. She was also drinking some green tea with orange zest. Daniel wasn’t around because he had to accompany his grandmother, Emmy’s beloved “nana”, to the doctor for her regular check-up.

“Mind if I join you?” Edward asked, holding his own cup of tea.

Emmy looked up from the paper that she was reading and gave Edward a slight smile. In the course of a few days, she has grown to appreciate him because of what he was doing for Ruby. And somehow, Emmy felt like they were going through the same thing: They were both kept in the dark about some of the most important things in life and it wasn’t a really nice feeling.

“Sure.” Emmy replied.

“Thanks.” Edward sat down on the seat across hers. “Ruby went shopping for a while.” He took a deep breath. “I don’t know if I should be telling you this but our honeymoon wasn’t…it wasn’t as perfect as I thought it would be. I mean, it’s not…it’s almost like we didn’t do anything at all and well, that would be fine except for the fact that it felt like…like she was just going through the motions, you know what I mean?” He took a deep breath.

“Maybe, everything’s just overwhelming for her.” Emmy said. “And some of her friends and relatives are here, too…maybe when you get back home, everything will finally be okay.” She sipped some tea. “How did you guys meet anyway? I mean, I’ve been gone for so long as I was in Paris but I don’t remember you from our childhood…”

“I’m from Chicago.” Edward said. “Ruby and I met just two months ago actually. We met at this architectural convention.”

“Wow.” Emmy exclaimed. “That’s…I didn’t expect that.”

He laughed. “Yeah, I know.” He said. “She says she hasn’t dated anyone in years before I came and yeah, we hit it off pretty well but now I’m not so sure anymore.”

“What do you mean?”

“I don’t know.” He said. “I feel like there’s something she’s not telling me about and I just could not put my finger on it. Last night, when Daniel did that for her, I felt like he knew her in a way that I couldn’t know her. You know what I’m saying? It’s like…he knew something about her that even I couldn’t know. Somehow, it made me think like they had some past…” He then looked at her and realized that she is Daniel’s current boyfriend. “I’m sorry.” He said.

“It’s okay.”

Edward sighed and went on. “I just feel like…like she’s no longer in love with me and it’s not a very nice thing to think about. I feel like…she didn’t really want to marry me.”

“She married you, Edward.”

“She did.” He said. “But it does not necessarily mean that she’s in love with me. I have to say, for the first time in years, I kind of feel…scared.”

“Well,” Emmy said. “Don’t worry.” She said.
