“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.

“Just admiring my wife,” he said simply.

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.”

“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.”
