Chapter 35: Gary

I didn't know when I fell asleep exactly, but it was very late.

On top of that emotional rollercoaster, this was the first time we were sleeping in the same bed. So I spent most of my awake time watching him, thinking about him, and predicting our future. My future.

Would I ever get used to my life becoming like this? Attending events, meetings and business deals side by side, taking responsibility for the family, being the face of it.

What would happen behind the closed doors?

I opened my eyes, he was laying on his side and watching me. His eyes were calm, his hair was messy and he had a silly look on his face.

"Good morning. Is this the first time you're seeing my puffy face?" I asked with my cracky voice.

"No, and good morning to you, too," he kissed my nose.

"Did you get some rest?" he continued while caressing my hair. I wished every morning would start like this.
