Asking For Permission
After the first dial tone, Akane already picked up the call. With the same cheery and sweet-sounding voice, she asked excitedly.
"Husband! Are you on your way home?"
Even though I'm already used to her usual energetic voice towards me, hearing it still puts a smile on her face. Back when she first barged into my room and cried that morning when she thought her feelings reached me, I vowed not to see her tears again. But that happened two more times again after that and I'm probably about to do that again.
I used to think that when this time comes, this will be easy to tell her but now that I'm at this crossroad, I can't find the words to start.
Akane and I both know that this will come one day. From how she hinted to me, she's also already accepted this ever since she allowed Haruko and Yae inside our bedroom.
However, after three weeks of sharing the bed with her, now that I will change it, I feel like I'm having cold feet which is unlike me.
