"She is well," he fibbed out if being polite. Truth be told, he was not aware of her feelings because she seemed so closed off at times. He tried to smile but it did not reach his eyes.

He wished she would have been more receptive to him in a few different ways. He did not feel as though he made the right choice to rush into this marriage only because he failed at giving her happiness. He felt like he had done all sorts of things that were wrong including sleeping with the woman he let stay in the apartment before she moved on. Last he knew and much to his relief, she was somevody else's cross to bear.
