Quickest way

What just happened?! Did he hear it correctly? It seemed as if his wife had just told him to sleep. Did those words actually come out of her beautiful mouth? Gavriel was a little confused in his mind and held himself quiet and still for a while before he caught Evie's hand that was caressing his hair. He tried to school the look on his face as to not look so disappointed as he stared up at her.

"Wife," he called out gently as his eyes narrowed, "could it be that a certain blabbermouth had come by, telling you that I had been worked out and am tired to death?"

His question made her beautiful eyes widened in shock before she blinked and took his hand off hers and gently placed it on top of his abdomen. "Yes, my love. But even if the blabbermouth didn't say anything, I'd still be insisting that you should take your rest." She stated firmly as she resumed her careful ministrations on his hair.
