Love Began with the First Meeting

"This is my life!" Molly snorted. "I eat at street stands, and I'm satisfied with any food that can fill my stomach!"

He was taken aback by her sudden outburst. But Brian seemed oblivious to the underlying meaning behind the words. They belonged to different worlds. She could never catch up with him, and he would never pause to wait for her. At the back of her mind, she knew Brian and Becky were perfect for each other. But her arrival strained their relationship. What was worse was that Molly knew she would have to leave Brian sooner or later.

How could Brian not know what she was trying to tell him? In the beginning, he only felt some reluctance in letting her go and didn't understand why. Now, Brian was sure he really didn't want to let Molly go.

He was still also trying to figure out what Becky and Molly meant to him. Inhaling deeply, Brian was starting to feel in his heart that Molly had captivated him. He was thinking this was perhaps what Wing was trying to tell him. Wing said he had fallen in love with a vulnerable woman who had a tendency to selectively avoid certain things. And the woman was someone who might eventually cause him a great deal of trouble.

When they stopped in front of the car, that was the only time Molly realized that Tony was already there waiting for them.

"To the hospital," Brian ordered. She noted his tone of indifference but did not say a word.
