again. He must be angry at me for leaving him hungry. 1

“Sorry I didn’t make dinner lastnight, I was—"

“Crying?” He cuts me off with a raised brow.

“You're not very quiet when you cry.”

I send him an awkward smile and drop my eyes down to stare at the counter. Hmmm didn't realize t"Hey don’t be embarrassed. Seems to me that I loved it judging that I married you.” He was trying toit.

I lift my eyes to him and cracked a smile, giggling slightly. It made him crack a tiny smile also, “WellHis smile drops and he looks away from me. I see the pain reflected in his eyes before he turns away.tease each other.” I rushed out. My throat felt tight.
