“You make me want to be a better man just for you.” This was among the lines Nick proclaimed in lieu for his undying love for Mary. They should have ticked suspicion in their fast-paced relationship but did not. Almost seven months into the relationship, they had moved in together and were expecting a child. Nick’s involvement in the baby’s name, shopping and taking care of the mother to-be was commendable. During this period, she had seen a completely different side of him from what his friends knew and had out rightly expressed to her. He had stopped drinking, smoking, partying and late night booty calls; and one night stands had become a thing of the past. He was always home early.
