Chapter 010: It was all a ruse 

Moments after Lyra left, Felix lay rigid on the hospital bed, with Aria sitting next to him. They maintained quietness for about three minutes, staring directly into each other's eyes. When they were sure that Lyra was completely gone and that they had the room all to themselves, Felix's face suddenly flattened into a smile, then he sat up energetically and announced,

"It's over. The divorcee, it's completed."

"For real?" Aria asked with widened eyes.

"Hell yeah." Felix quipped excitedly, pulling her into his arms and latching his lips onto hers. They kissed with arms around each other's necks.

Then, after they detached, Aria threw a glance behind her and echoed.

"Wait." She glanced at the door again and said,

"What if she comes back now?"

Felix shrugged impatiently.

"And so?" He mumbled with his arms half-suspended.

"Do I look like I care? The divorce is done and dusted; that's all that matters."

Lyra smiled shyly and looked away, looking satisfied at the way he seemed so confident.
