Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean)

Holding tightly onto Myra’s identification card, Sean was oblivious to Eve’s words. Just then, he got up from his seat abruptly and walked out the door without a backward glance.

Meanwhile, Eve looked on at his retreating back with a troubled look on her face.

As for Myra, she woke up from her nap feeling calm and refreshed, perhaps because she knew everything was finally settled. It was such a relief to finally be able to escape from the clutches of her lifeless marriage.

In her dreams, she saw Tony. As usual, he was gazing at her tenderly. Since this was a dream, she thought that it was surely fine for her to accede to his request; at least she wouldn’t have to face his disappointed look in her dreams. Hence, she mumbled under her breath, “Tony, I…”

Before she could finish off her sentence, she was interrupted by the noise of thundering footsteps clambering up the stairs. Before she knew it, the door to her room flung open.

Eve rushed to her side and called out, “Myra, you need to wake up!”

Her voice sounded frantic. Despite being in the loop regarding Sean’s plans, the sight of uniformed cops at her front door was actually quite frightening. She had a guilty conscience, so she was quite anxious; it felt as if the cops were here for her instead.

Groggily, Myra opened her eyes. Rubbing the side of her eyes, she lifted her head from the pillow and asked with a hoarse voice, “What’s going on, Mrs. Chase?”

Just then, Myra noticed the darkened sky outside as she looked out of the window.

Startled, she got up from bed slowly.

However, the expression on Eve’s face was one of bewilderedness. She looked at Myra and asked hesitantly, “Who were you calling out in your dreams just now?”

Prior to this, Eve was in a rush to wake Myra up. Hence, it didn’t cross her mind to doubt Myra. Now, as she collected her thoughts, she recalled the rumors she had heard from Lyla. As such, her face darkened. Despite knowing Sean’s faults and being perfectly aware of Myra and his upcoming divorce, she was still quite disconcerted at the thought of Myra entering another relationship before finalizing things.

Upon hearing Eve’s words, Myra pursed her lips and replied nonchalantly, “I had a dream about work-related issues. Why didn’t you wake me up earlier?”
