“Hello, Lucinda. How are things going? Is Nathan getting any better these days?”
“Yes, thankfully.”
“Graham is to blame for this predicament. Since Nathan is feeling better, why don’t you bring him over, and we can have dinner together tonight?”
They were engaged to be married, after all. However, Nathan had yet to pay a former visit to the Simmons residence, and he and Atticus had only met a handful of times in social events.
Lucinda considered the notion for a moment before agreeing with her father’s suggestion.
“Okay, Dad. We’re coming over right on time for dinner.”
“That’s great!”
They spent a few minutes catching up with each other, and Lucinda finally hung up.
The living room descended into silence.
She continued to stare at her phone, and ducked her head even lower.
Nathan found her behavior a Little odd.
He got down on his haunches and peeked at her face, only to find her eyes rimmed red and filled with unshed tears.
His heart stuttered.
Unable to bear seeing her like this, his entire demeanor softened.
“What’s the matter?” he asked gently.
Lucinda pouted her lips and turned away with a harrumph, refusing to look at him.

“You yelled at me!”
“No, I didn’t.”
She felt even more wronged.
It was not until today that she realized although he had always been tolerant before her, Nathan had a tempestuous and arrogant nature, and his strength and fighting skills were undoubtedly superior to hers.
He usually gave in to her, no matter what absurd thing she asked, but she just realized that if they ever got into a real fight, she could never best him at all. At least not physically.
God knew what he would do to her if she truly enraged him beyond his Limits.
No, she couldn’t let Nathan lord all over her. Lucinda refused to be one of those meek, submissive wives for the rest of her life!
If anything, she wanted to be the one to conquer him.
