Anthony was her husband, and in the two months since he had gone away on a business trip, this was the first time he had taken the initiative to call her.

Genevieve was ecstatic enough to hear from him despite him sounding as indifferent as usual.

Three years of being married to Anthony had trained her to handle these unwelcomed questions and situations well.
