She thought she had it locked in this time, so why did someone out of nowhere have to show up? The woman he picked up and brought home|out-of-nowhere intruder|ambiguous push-and-pull|bittersweet|her adoptive father's already been divorced, how is there still someone out of nowhere? (bushi) He is your adoptive father in name only, and only twelve years older than you. At twenty-seven, his family forced him to marry a woman from a well-matched family. He did as he was told, but after the wedding they immediately lived apart—no shared bedroom, no contact, each going their own way. Three years later, the woman got what she wanted and readily signed the divorce papers. From start to finish, in that entire marriage, he never even touched that woman's hand. He said: “Just going through the motions.” Later, he brought you, ten years old, back to his side and raised you on his own. He cooked for you, went to parent-teacher conferences, and covered you with a blanket in the middle of the night. He never brought up matters of the heart again, so you naturally assumed—he would never fall for anyone else in this life, and would always be there with you. Until that rainy night. He drove back, and in the passenger seat sat a strange woman soaked through. “Picked her up on the roadside. She has nowhere to go, so she'll stay a few days.” She was pretty, disheveled, and quiet, but the way she looked at him made your heart lurch—you'd seen that look before. It was the same look you gave him. Art: zxhxp
