                  “Anne came over yesterday evening an hour before you returned from work. On the face

               of it she came to remind me of her birthday party, but I think, she wanted to discuss Vik and


               her  situation.  She  looked  disturbed  as  she  feels  that  their  relationship  is  going  downhill.


               Quoting her, ‘we don’t seem to care about each other anymore and it is very frustrating as I know that I still

               love him. And I think he does too. But I am unable to understand what is happening.’


                  Dan was listening attentively. He spoke only after he was sure Betsy had finished.

                  “Bet,  before  we  discuss  the  Chopras,  I  want  to  talk  us.”  Seeing  the  anxiousness  that


               suddenly appeared on Betsy’s face, he held her hand and continued without taking a breath,


               “we have not discussed  this, but we know that our relationship has  transformed, for the


               better.” He smiled as Betsy’s trademark lovely smile replaced the anxiety.

                  “For a moment you frightened me Dan Webber.” She chuckled. “Past few weeks have been


               remarkable. Despite huge curiosity about the cause of this change, I have been hesitant to

               bring it up for the fear of breaking this enviable spell.”


                  Dan leaned over, hugged Betsy and whispered in her ear, “this spell will never break Bet. If


               anything, you and I will make it stronger and longer.”

                  She held him tightly and they stayed that way till Dan spoke again. “I want to share with


               you what has changed.”


                  Betsy sat their spellbound, motionless, as Dan narrated the whole story about his frustration

               at  work,  seeking  Ron’s  help,  his  learnings,  and  his  attempt  to  bring  those  learnings  into
