Jason and Nancy stayed in companionable silence. They were not saying anything, yet they understood each other.Jason did not want this pleasurable silence to be broken, he was afraid that if he said anything, then they would start quarrelling again.Nancy was so much at peace that she did not know when her head fell on Jason's shoulders and rested there.Jason liked it and stayed like a statue not wanting to move so as not to alert her. He knew that she may not be aware of her actions due to the magic in the air. He had crave physical contact with her since that day and though this was not exactly what he had in mind, he was ready to accept this rather than nothing at all.Close to midnight, Nancy saw the star and like a child filled with excitement,she grabbed Jason's arms and pointed to the star. This is a shooting star. Make a wish and you shall receive it'. she said and closed her eyes.She made a wish that her own true love may come to her and all her pains may be washed away wi

.Nancy nearly fainted but Jason who had been staring at her, wondering why she was so pale and staring at Rodney the way she was as though she had seen a ghost, caught her and carried her to a sofa.All attention shifted from Rodney to Nancy.'What was Rodney doing here?' Nancy thought in panic.Rodney saw the way Jason placed his hands possessively on her and the look in his eyes as he gazed at her. He knew that Jason's feelings for Nancy was not just lust. He was totally Nancy's. He looked at Nancy to see if he could get an inkling of her real feelings towards Jason because she had loved Rodney so completely that he felt hers might not be as deep as Jason's but he couldn't be too sure.'Nancy, what happened?' Jason asked and Phoebe felt that this drama queen had started again. Was she not the one enjoying the meal with everyone else? How come she fainted all of a sudden? She is not the only one who is pregnant for goodness sakes!'Nothing, I just felt dizzy but I'll be okay', she s

'Who marries a woman who is pregnant with another man's child?' Rodney asked and Nancy recalled her shock at Jason's declaration.Did he just say that just to put Rodney off and prevent him from taking her or did he seriously mean it? He had not told her he was considering marrying her.'It has been done before. I am not going to be the first man to do it and even if I were, then I'll gladly do it. You do not know how to treat a woman. You have made known your ignorance by the words you just uttered.Who marries an already pregnant woman indeed!''I have come peacefully. Give me what is rightfully mine. If you stay stubborn, then I will see redress in a court of law!''I am expecting your summons'.Phoebe who had been eavesdropping, tiptoed away. She had heard what she wanted to hear.The study door was sound proof but they had left it slightly open and she had been able to hear all they said. She was going to use it to her advantage.Rodney left in fury, feeling like a failure. He co

Jason went straight in and finding Phoebe in his room, decided to speak to her.'Phoebe, I know that this might seem odd to you and I hope you understand but you see, I have been thinking that we should get a second opinion concerning that paternity test you took the other time. I am saying this so that you get yourself prepared for it'.'You don't say! You mean you doubt me or is it your most trusted friend and doctor that you doubt? Do you sincerely doubt his capabilities or is it just because your liver says so?' she asked feigning incredibility.'It is not that. I need to prove to myself and others that the test results were right. And anyway, you did accept to do it if it was going to put us all at ease didn't you?''I did but...''Well, what has changed since then? If the results were not tampered with, then you should be confident enough to go through it again to prove to the whole world that your claim is justified'.'If that is really what you want and if it would make you h

'Okay dear, if you were able to deduce all these about Phoebe, only moments after meeting with her, then what do you think of Nancy?' Sally asked.'I know what I have deduced from her as well but I shall give a better diagnosis if I knew more about her pregnancy and why that man had wanted to see the both of you Jason?' he phrase it as a question.Jason had wanted it to remain a secret from his sister. And still did.'Come with me for a walk round the premises, there is something I need to discuss with you'. Jason said walking out.'I asked a question and I need answers', Sally said as her husband followed Jason out.'You will have your answers but it shall have to wait for now. business calls.They walked for sometime but Jason did not say anything. He seemed to be deep in thought.Chris felt sure that he must have forgotten that he was there with him Oh, the trouble women caused men. The pain of the heart was not easy to resolve.
