With this new strategy in mind, Raegan spent the journey back sharing her memories of Kabir with Mitchel. She recounted her memories with Kabir, describing how he used to send her sunflowers, take her to the seaside, and often carry her back home.
She emphasized Kabir’s name with each story.
As she persisted, she noticed Mitchel’s expression growing increasingly dark. This reaction filled Raegan with a triumphant feeling. She reveled in the thought that her words were finally agitating him. She hoped her provocations would drive him to the point of seeking a divorce immediately.
Caught up in her efforts to annoy Mitchel, Raegan was surprised when he suddenly halted the car.
Raegan looked out the window and realized she had no idea where they were. With a puzzled look, she inquired, “Why are we stopping?”
Mitchel extended his hand and grabbed a cigarette from its case. He was about to light it but then decided against it. He placed the cigarette between his lips, squinting slightly. “I stopped because I want to give my full attention to your story. Please, continue.”
Mitchel felt a surge of frustration as Raegan continued to ramble about her late husband, whom she dearly missed. This made it hard for him to focus on driving.

Raegan was taken aback by his reaction. She hadn’t anticipated that Mitchel would be interested in hearing her past with another man.
Feigning shyness, she said softly, “But what I have left to tell is quite personal, and I’m not sure it’s appropriate to share with you…”
Suddenly, the air around them grew tense and awkward.
Mitchel struggled to keep his anger in check. The thought of something personal… Huh! He bit back any harsh words. Then, he raised his eyebrows and gave Raegan a cold look. “What do you mean by ‘something personal’?”
Unaware of the danger in his words, Raegan answered, “You know, the kind of intimate moments shared between a husband and wife.”
Despite her claim, she actually couldn’t recall any specific details.
ALL she remembered was Kabir’s kindness toward her. Her memories were faint, and she struggled to picture his face without a photograph for reference.
Left with no other choice, Raegan fabricated, “In any case, Kabir was awesome!”
Upon hearing her words, Mitchel couldn’t help but laugh out loud. He casually tossed the cigarette out of the window and unbuttoned the top button of his shirt. He then stretched his arms across the back of the seat and leaned in toward her.
In an instant, Raegan found herself enveloped in his arms. She Looked up and met Mitchel’s intense gaze.
Caught off guard, Raegan was unsure how to react.

Mitchel looked deeply into her eyes for a moment, then said in a raspy voice, “You mentioned that your husband was awesome, didn’t you?”
Mitchel leaned down and fixed Raegan with a fierce gaze. “How good was he?”
“Uh… Well…” Raegan stuttered for a couple of seconds, struggling to find words. It was nothing but a lie. How could she possibly describe how good her late husband was?
Mitchel’s captivatingly handsome face drew nearer. When he spoke, his voice was husky and seductive. “Do you need a ruler to measure it and see who’s better?”
Raegan remained utterly wordless. Her expression was frozen like a deer caught in the headlights. She blinked twice and confusedly asked, “Measure what?”
Mitchel, with his voice huskier than ever, replied, “What do you think?”
