“Which deal?” she snapped.
“The one to wait to get married. By working, you’ll realize your dreams, and I won’t have to wait anymore. Once we’re married, I’ll ask your brothers to wire us your share of your father’s inheritance. We’ll buy a luxurious condo like Royce’s. I’ll be able to enjoy it during the school year while you work. In the summer, we can travel together, go back to Bangkok, or cruise to other places. What d’you say, Susie babe?”

“Yes, each of us doing what we like to do, together or alone. You like your work and you like to travel. I like to exercise, and I like to travel, too. We’ll be happy together, babe.”
