Larry and Andy arrived after a while. “Are you okay, Mrs. Russell?” they asked concernedly.

Josie brushed away the snow on Dexter’s head and replied, “I’m fine. I’ll recover in no time.”

Dexter knelt calmly on the ground, peering up at Josie with kind eyes. “Are you hungry?” he asked.

Josie rubbed her stomach, which was rumbling with hunger. “Yes, I’m famished from playing the whole morning,” she answered.

“Let’s grab some food then.”

Dexter supported Josie as they made their way through the extravagant hotel with its five- star restaurant. This was a popular destination for the wealthy, who would come to ski and enjoy the luxurious amenities.

Josie had a fulfilling day.

As they lay side by side on the bed, Dexter had a sudden thought. “It’s the end of the year, and our branch executives will have a final debriefing at Wavery. You should come with me to welcome them,” he suggested.

Josie’s eyes widened in surprise. “This involves the Russell Group’s internal matters. I don’t think it would be appropriate to have me there.”

“You’re my wife. How is it not appropriate?” Dexter caressed her hair. “It’s alright. Think of it. as a chance for you to get to know them better. After all, you’ll be seeing them more often.”
