The Ex and Her Riches

Inez grew frustrated that her wineglass was snatched away for a second time. “Give it back to me, Kieran! Who do you think you are to me? You have no right to control what I do!”

Kieran dodged backward with the wineglass in his hand.

His arm was longer than Inez’s, so she couldn’t reach the glass, which infuriated her.

“How can you be so unreasonable, Kieran! I pursued you for a year, but you never spared me a glance. I’m tired now, so can you just let me go?” Her eyes, red like a rabbit’s, were filled with aggrieved tears.

“Ms. Inez, no, Inez, I…” Kieran struggled to form a word. His ears and cheeks were red as he looked at her.

“What?”

I can’t believe confessing my love is more nerve-racking than the first time I operated on someone! Kieran took in a deep breath.

“If you don’t want to tell me, fine! I’ll leave.” Inez had run out of patience and was prepared to exit the room.

Kieran grabbed her hand. “Don’t go.”

He took another deep breath and emptied the wineglass in one go to build his courage.

Because he drank it too fast, he became dizzy quickly, but it did help him grow bold enough to say, “I like you, Inez.”

Inez was stunned, unable to process the information immediately.

Kieran continued, “I was foolish in the past. I didn’t understand my own heart. It wasn’t until you left that I realized I couldn’t forget about you. I will marry you, but we can go on dates first and discuss marriage at a more suitable time. What do you think?”
