It’s very unusual for my dad to call me first thing in the morning, but today seems to be an exception. I don’t know what got Into him.

“How’s your husband this morning?” he says, straining his voice little.

“He’s alright. He’s already left for work.”

“I’m glad.”

He strains his voice again and the more we talk, the more I feel like something’s off with him.

“Dad? Is something wrong?”

“Not at all w

“Not at all. Why would you think something’s wrong?”

“You sound a little different.”

“I guess I’m just stressed from all the work. With all the new investors coming in, I’ve already started making massive profits in a short period of time, but that means I also have to be more involved.”

“I see. That puts me at ease. Tll talk to you later.”

After I’m done with my shower, I step onto the mat with a towel wrapped around my body.

As soon as I open the bathroom door, the image of Dominic looking at my bare chest flashes in my mind. Is this what awaits me now? Will I always see him standing there and watching me?

I wish I could change bedrooms, but that might make it obvious to him that something is up with me. I still don’t want him to know that I remember certain things.

All dressed up, I head down stairs so I can have my breakfast. I’ve never sat at the dining table early in the morning to have a meal.

The best part about this is that he’s already gone for work, so I don’t have to run into him.
