Vicki, reveling in her own illusion, rested her head on Katie's shoulder and said cheerfully, “Isn't it great? Our husbands are good friends, and so are we. We can travel together to have a blast.”

Katie, her acting instincts kicking in, didn't say anything. Noticing Katie's unusual silence, Vicki looked over and it was only then that she saw the tears that welled up in Katie's eyes.

Surprised, Vicki asked, “Katie, what's wrong? Why are you crying?"

Later, Vicki found out Mitchel was depressed because of his ex-wife's death, which had moved her at that time.

Knowing Katie was the one who had stayed by Mitchel's side and helped him get through his grief, Vicki admired Katie's steadfastness.

Despite Mitchel's indifference, Katie never left him.

Katie nodded aggrievedly. "She has approached Mitchel several times..
