"Are you ok?" Dominique asked, his voice gentle as he observed Kalina, lost in thought while sunbathing on the balcony of their resort.
They were already in Santorini, and their private beach house offered a stunning view of their own secluded beach. The sound of the waves and the serene environment contrasted sharply with the worry etched on Dominique's face.
"Yes, I am," she sighed, a hint of weariness in her voice.
Dominique noted that she had been sighing frequently since they left Athens. The cheerful woman he knew seemed to be weighed down by something unseen.
"Are you sure, baby? You can talk to me, you know." Dominique squatted down to her level, his eyes searching hers for answers.
"I'm fine, I promise," Kalina replied, giving him a small, forced smile.
