The Kiss that Sparked it All

Theo smirked. “I heard from Collin that you’ve been quite the caretaker for my wife. Should I throw a banquet to thank you?”

The atmosphere turned tense in an instant, and the air between the two men was dangerously charged.

Bartlett clearly didn’t want any conflicts, so he replied with a smile, “It’s the least I could do. We’ve been friends for years; there is no need to make a big deal out of it. Anyway, now that you’re back, I won’t intrude on your couple’s time anymore. I, a lone bachelor, will go grab breakfast.”

With that, Bartlett chuckled at his own joke, waved, and leisurely walked out.
