this is a "totally random and has nothing to do with the story" kind of comment but... aren't thier lips totally bruised from all the biting?? The characters always do it when they're feeling hesitant/guilty/anxious (^.^) hahaha still love the novel though!!! keep up the good work author!

Just like most novel the problem is communication and understanding. They tend to judge characters with what they hear/see what one does and not understand or ask the reason behind it. Example is their wedding day when he left, he thought he was being considerate while she thought he was being a jerk. He never explained his behavior and she never voiced out the reason of her reaction. Both of them have different truth and none of them checked the facts. COMMUNICATE!!!
