“Nothing important. Just tired,” I replied, twirling pasta around my fork. “This smells amazing.” I took a bite and closed my eyes in appreciation. “Perfect.”

Alexander leaned against the counter, watching me eat with an intensity that made me self–conscious.

“What?” I asked, dabbing my mouth with a napkin.

“Just admiring my wife,” he said simply.

“While she inhales pasta like she hasn’t eaten in days?”

“Precisely that.”

We fell into comfortable silence as I finished eating.

Alexander cleared my plate when I was done, rinsing it and placing it in the dishwasher with surprising domesticity.

“So,” I said, stifling a yawn, “back to work tomorrow?”

Alexander nodded. “Unfortunately. I’ve got about fifteen meetings that were postponed because of the honeymoon.” He grimaced, leaning against the kitchen counter. “Not to mention the Westwood account needs immediate attention, and there’s the quarterly board meeting on Friday that I need to prepare for.”

“Wow, sounds like you’ve got a full calendar,” I said, watching his face carefully. “Almost like you regret taking time off for our honeymoon.”

Alexander’s head snapped up, his eyes meeting mine. “What? No. That’s not what I meant at all.”

“Really? Because it sounded like you were listing all the inconveniences our honeymoon caused,” I crossed my arms over my chest.

“Liv, come on.” He moved closer, placing his hands on my shoulders. “The honeymoon was amazing. Perfect. Worth postponing a hundred meetings for.” His thumbs traced small circles on my skin. “I’m just thinking out loud about tomorrow’s schedule. Bad habit.”

“You have a lot of those,” I teased, my momentary irritation fading.

“And you love every one of them,” he countered with a smirk.

“Debatable.” I suppressed another yawn. “God, I’m exhausted.”

“Let’s get to bed,” Alexander suggested, taking my hand. “We both have early mornings.”
