I turned to him, my emotions calming down as I realized Elena's suggestion had changed from ridiculous to reasonable. Gio shot me a stern look and shut me down.

"But wait, Gio!" I protested, following him as he headed to our bedroom. "We should at least discuss this!"

"Elena had a point," I called out, searching for him in the sitting room before heading to the bedroom.

Gio had his back turned to me, staring into the closet with a hard look as he unbuttoned the cufflinks on his shirt.
