Joon hated to stay gloomy, but it was a low blow to find out how Ivy's family was falling apart because they were his family too. He hated to see Ivy's mother in such anguish, especially when he and Natalie were so happy.
Yes, he and Natalie were finally where they wanted to be, a couple seriously in love. Actually, he couldn't say when it happened, but he knew he was home as long as he was with Natalie.
It bothered him now, to think a couple would go their separate ways after so many decades like Ivy's parents.
"What could have happened?" He knew he didn't really need to know the answer, but it was so devastating.
"Who knows." Natalie shrugged while she was in the kitchen making cold sandwiches. "I had a teacher who didn't even have to teach because her husband was so rich, but she ended up leaving him and having the janitor's baby."
Joon shook his head. He didn't want to hear such nonsense stories. There was Ivy to think about too.
"Why would she hide some guy she hardly knows, in her room, like that?" He sighed thinking he should have known, but he didn't. He'd been living with Natalie and they worked together at the campus coffee shop. It was his life, but he loved it.
"Well, he evidently had what she wanted," Natalie smirked. She handed over the turkey on rye at the kitchen table. "Love is a mysterious thing."
"It was probably lust." Joon was in a pout.
"You can't judge them. We have no idea what either of them has gone through," she said even lipped and then bit into a potato chip.
Joon couldn't help but smile. He couldn't help but think she'd be the best mother who knew all the answers. He guessed he'd have all the questions to put her to the test, but she'd always win whatever she said.
