While lost in her thoughts she thought and missed how easy her previous marriages where, the spouse had their own faults and they their where arguments. But anything they did with time healed and forgiveness came, because true trust was between them. In that life you're my partner, that was what always healed things between her and her spouses.

Lucas makes her want to give up on this marriage, what was between her and Lucas wasn't trust or respect but mutual benefit. Rachel thought that she should get married and Lucas was persistent, so she agreed.

But She regretted a that, her heart doesn't want to be bound to this man for her lifetime. But she also doesn't believe in no trying. Waverley house is where she'll make her finally decision. Rachel patted her daughter's hair; the little girl fell asleep in her arms. Rachel had carried her to her crib and laid her down for a nap.

Rachel laid in her bed late at night she was ready in some soft PJs, when Lucas came in with a dark expression.

"You went behin-"

"I said I was coming with you" Rachel said immediately as she closed her book. "Lucas, do you think our marriage is problem-less."

"You are the one creating problem of our marriage."

"But there are still problems, Lucas. I want to fix them. I can't stand the idea of everything being so one-sided."

"Nothing is one-sided, its all in your imagination. Your being unreasonable."

"Tomorrow, I'm getting on that flight, Lucas….." Rachel pulled her hair back and laid down and turned away from his face. She heard him undress and getting ready for a shower. "Lucas, do your remember what today is?" Rachel asked, but he ignored her and continued. "Of course not, you never do" she turned off her lamp and drifted off to sleep.

The next day Rachel had let Lucas mother walk in along with the nanny for extra help, Lucas mother didn't really like her, but she didn't hate her either. You could say the women took on a neutral stance towards the mother of her grandchildren. But she does love her grandchildren. She walked back upstairs to Lucas who was getting dressed, he just had a mother shower and smelled very fresh.

"We happen to have a reasonably amenable partnership going, Rowen, and I won't mess with it. I sincerely hope you won't mess with it, either. Because there aren't any fairy stories in this world. It's about making the best of what you've got!" Lucas said when he saw her walk inside their bedroom.

"…." Rachel moved forward and tied his tie for hm, she smelled his cologne. 'I should get rid of that, it's terrible.'

"You're fine as you are. As for bonding and loving, we have our children." His mouth curled in a travesty of smiling appreciation. "You gave me my children, and I guess that's about as much as a man can ask of a woman."

"Then if I have given you so much, why can't you give me what I want." Rachel said simply, but, Lucas didn't hear her.

"Just let today and last night go as a mad heat-of- the-moment reactions."

"Lucas your mom, has taken the kids." Rachel said as she heard the car door close and it drive off. "We should head off to." Rachel pulled away and picked up her suitcase, Lucas looked at his wife and thought he saw something that made him shiver it was second, just once. But, he no longer saw it nor felt it. As he picked up his own suitcase and followed Rachel down the steps.

Rachel was intensely relieved to finally arrive at the Silver Kris Lounge. The long walk through the international terminal—Singapore Airlines' first-cla.s.s lounge was at the far end of it—had left her burning with embarra.s.sment. She'd been stared at by so many men, heads swiveling to follow her. She had to be honest her, it made her a little happy. Lucas was someone wo could complement her correctly and even if he tried it would always sound like he was insulting her.

Lucas had guided Rachel and the newly joined Ms. Knight to an unoccupied corner of the lounge. Rachel quickly chose the armchair with its back turned to the rest of the room and "Would you like a drink, Rowan?" Lucas asked, still standing. His tone was kindly, though there was a strained look in his eyes.

"Coffee would be lovely," she answered gratefully.

"Ms. Knight?"

"I'll come with you. Help you carry."

When they both Left, Rachel was already lost in her thoughts thinking about her husband's former marriage. Hie wife was a normal woman she wasn't a bad person just stubborn, they married because of intense pa.s.sion they made them think they where in love. Young and inexperienced with relationships so of course this ended badly because the base of their relationship was s.e.x and nothing else. So, when pa.s.sion cools off what happens next?

Of course, their marriage would have ended on a bad note, the two never got to know each other.

Rachel is good friends with Lucas Ex-wife, in fact they went to school together. So, she knew a lot more then Lucas, the funniest thing is that Lucas didn't even recognize her when she came to their wedding with her new family.

Ms. Knight was brightly discussing some business with Lucas as they returned, bearing cups of coffee and a plate of dainty gourmet sandwiches. She broke off to address Rachel, who was still lost in her thoughts, while presenting a face full of indulgent understanding.

"Ms. Copeland said you'd like to take my seat once we're on board."

Rachel instantly nodded her head not looking at Ms. Knight and still seemingly dazed, "It had been the travel agent's suggestion. Is it a problem?"

Ms. Knight shrugged prettily. "Whatever. It won't matter to me, as I've viewed all there is to see many times. And I daresay it's no trouble for Lucas to lean across the aisle to speak to me if he has any further thoughts on the business meetings tomorrow. I'll tell the crew."

"No, Please, things are fine as they are." Rachel said not staring

Lucas frowned at her.

Ms.Knight raised her eyebrows as though Rachel was being tiresomely capricious.

"I wouldn't dream of taking your seat or interfering with any of the plans you've made," She said simply, her eyes flickering with impatience.

"It's no big deal-" Lucas was beginning to say when Rachel cut him off.

"Its FINE, Lucas." Rachel's tone deepened as she said that.

"I don't mind being shifted," Ms.Knight said with sweet reasonableness. "And don't you want to be with Lucas?" she pressed.

"…." Rachel didn't answer and seemingly ignored the women her eyes and the places pulling in and taking off.

"As you wish," Lucas agreed at her silence, but he didn't look happy about it.
