Almost everyone wants to be happy, but very few of them actually know how to find happiness. Those who live simply tend to be happy but their number is relatively short. On the other hand, people with complicated lives end up suffering and their number is, unfortunately, higher.

Drifting into a light sleep and dream, Molly slowly rolled over into a more natural sleeping position, and the quilt slid down from over her body. Brian was standing by the door, and was looking at her chest which was moving up and down with her light breaths. Her bosom was tempting.
He gazed at her for a while. The calmness on his face seemed to have vanished when she had mumbled someone else's name in her sleep. In fact, he seemed slightly angry.
"BANG!" Brian walked out and shut the door hard. The sudden noise awakened Molly who sat up straight abruptly and shouted,"Daniel! Are those the debt collectors?"
It took her a few seconds to realize she wasn't at home, and she got completely awake.
Swallowing, she petted her chest lightly. With her heart still pounding, she tried to catch her breath and get some sleep. Just then, the door opened.
"Who's that?" Molly held onto the quilt, looking at the door. Brian was standing there in his night-robe. "Why are you here?" she asked.
His face darkened and he replied with a sneer,"Were you expecting someone else?"
Since his face was in the dark, she could not see his expression but she felt the coldness in his voice, and it seemed he wasn't happy about her query. Molly could feel his piercing eyes in the strained and quiet atmosphere of the room.
She didn't reply. Brian was right. Her question had been instinctive but now, it seemed like a stupid one.
This was his house. Who else would be here?
It made her slightly nervous to think that Brian was in her room. Swallowing, she asked in a panic,"I meant, it's late. Why are you still here? Shouldn't you go to bed now?"
Looking at her panicky look, Brian's heart sank.
