Then, as if he was possessed, Zach shoved the police away and stumbled back home.
“Starling is just mad. Yes. She has always been that way. When she’s mad, she hides from me. That’s okay. She’ll come out after hiding for a while.”
Zach even bought a large bouquet of sunflowers while on his way back.
Those were my favorite flowers.
He seemed to have become calm once more.
Then, he shouted to the empty house, “I’m back, Starling. What’re we having for dinner?
“Braised pork? Your braised pork is the best in the world.
“Starling, once I get through this busy period, let’s get married, okay? Where do you want to go for our honeymoon? Somewhere in the country or abroad? I’ll need to count my days off. I haven’t taken any leave over the years, so I should be able to take a full month’s leave… Yes, it’s a month–long honeymoon. It’s enough for us to do plenty of things, isn’t it? Do you like babies? Would you like to be pregnant with one?”

He seemed to have returned to the time before our argument.
At that time, he would talk to me, but he was never this chatty,
He would only talk to me coldly and curtly.
But he was so chatty.
Even if he received no reply, he did not mind.
He would only smile at an empty spot.
That smile was so gentle and loving.
“Starling, you’re the best.”
