For better or worse

"What are you thinking?" Dani asked as soon as their parents excused themselves to return to their hotel. They said they arranged to meet with Ethan and Laura in the morning for a late brunch.

Dani was happy to see that their parents were getting along very well, just like she felt so at ease with his husband's parents. She knew that Alex also felt the same with her parents.

"I don't know." He turned around to look at her as she helped him clean up the kitchen.

After putting everything in the washer, he pulled her towards him and kissed her gently on the lips. "As always, you were great with my family." He told her, still keeping her close to his body, pinning her against the marble kitchen counter.

He let his fingers trace a line on her face, removing the tendrils that block her beautiful eyes. His eyes searched hers, probably hoping she could help him make a better decision.
