Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

The next day, Arthur woke her from sleep early in the morning.

Getting up on the wrong side of the bed, Elspeth stood up with a yawn, glowering furiously at the man who removed her blanket. “Arthur! How could you—”

“I what?” Arthur cut her short. “I’m going to Fashion Week in a moment. If you don’t get up now, you might have to get there on your own later.”
