The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Lucas contemplated in silence. The director and producer were both perceptive enough to leave him alone. He was a strong force in the business world, and he injected investments for many film projects. Seldom did one see his plans falter once he set things in motion, as things would generally go his way.
Lucas remained with the crew until dusk before heading back, thinking Melody must have fallen asleep.
At the hospital, Patty organized the daily records and was surprised to see Lucas' return. She whispered, "Your wife is now asleep. If you need to discuss anything with her, do save it until tomorrow morning." Her words were a gentle reminder in the hopes that Lucas would stay with Melody in the ward. That might help Melody sleep a little more soundly that night.
Melody had earlier found it difficult to sleep when Lucas was not around. She tossed and turned, which was more than enough for Patty to sense her restlessness. Patty stayed in the ward and talked to Melody about unrelated matters in the hopes of diverting her attention.
By nearly ten o'clock, Melody finally went to bed, frowning even in sleep. Patty could not understand why they just had to argue when they were supposed to have a strong bond.
Lucas acknowledged the nurse's words with a nod and entered the ward quietly. As he approached the bedside, he observed Melody's restless slumber and gently brushed his fingers across her forehead. 'Are you in distress because of me?' he pondered. He never wanted to quarrel with Melody in the day, and he only felt uncomfortable because she sided with Sherman. 'Why are you reluctant to give me a definitive answer, even though I chose you first?'
Lucas sensed Melody's attachment to him, but if that attachment hinged on compromise when there was no alternative, perhaps it was better not to pursue
it.
Melody did not know what Lucas was thinking, but she viewed her relationship as one where she never held the initiative in the first place. If Lucas cared so deeply about Sherman's presence, then he should know that the situation is the same with him and Thalia.
Thalia's name was always the catalyst for disputes between them. As time passed, Melody did not know whether there was any need to be embroiled in all of that. She knew what her heart desired, and that was to have Lucas by her side.
When she talked with Patty earlier in the day, her mind constantly drifted to thoughts of Lucas. She wondered if he was once again talking with Thalia, or complaining to Thalia about her and wishing that Thalia was in her stead.
