The Wrong Woman

Daniel looked into Sienna's eyes, her determination causing a pang of emotion to prick his nose. Heartache flooded him in waves. He couldn't resist moving closer and reaching out to hug her.

But Sienna recoiled and avoided his touch.

Daniel was stunned briefly before withdrawing his hand. He sensed the lingering resentment in Sienna's heart. She seemed repelled by him.

Perhaps his words during their breakup a year ago had deeply wounded her pride.

"Let's go register our marriage," Daniel suggested.

Sienna paused before asking, "Shouldn't you discuss this with your family first?"

"It's not too late to inform them after we register." Daniel feared Sienna might change her mind, so he wanted to register their marriage promptly.

Sienna hesitated. "I don't have my identification documents with me. Let's postpone it. You should speak to your parents first. Get their approval, and then come to me.

"I'd prefer to avoid family conflicts right from the start. Once you've had the chance to speak with your family, we can then plan a time for the registration."

Daniel respected Sienna's decision. "Okay. How can I reach you?"

Sienna retrieved her phone and entered Daniel's number with her new one. His number was etched in her memory.
