"Hey, you," Kalina greeted Dominique with a warm smile as he entered their bedroom, but her enthusiasm was met with a cold response.
"Hey," he replied tersely, his tone devoid of warmth as he disappeared into the closet.
Confusion furrowed Kalina's brow as she watched him, wondering what had soured his mood so suddenly.
Returning her attention to her phone screen, she couldn't suppress the smile that crept across her lips at something Mia had said. But as she glanced up, she caught Dominique's disapproving gaze, his frown deepening at the sight.
"How was your day?" he inquired, his voice holding a hint of tension as he sought her attention.
"It was alright," she replied casually, her focus shifting back to her phone as she giggled at another message from Mia.
"Did anything interesting happen?" he pressed, hoping she would mention her meeting with Aiden, but she seemed oblivious to his probing.
