Delighted upon hearing Leslie's swift and positive reply to his inquiry, Calix's eyes flickered with joy. Chuckles slipping out between his lips, he tightened his arms around her.
"Okay~ Let's start moving your things here soon."
Affected by Calix's enormous joy, Leslie deepened her smile. She buried her face in his chest, savoring the warmth she had been missing for a few days. His soft laughter echoed above her head.
The husband and wife continued lying on the bed, cuddling. Only the faint underbed lights illuminated the powder blue room.
Calix and Leslie began to chat more about what happened during their short separation.
Leslie filled Calix in about what Evelyn had shared with her during the younger lady's visit the other day. Evelyn had resumed her schedule but, she was still closely involved with Bella's fight against Chase.
"Oh? I haven't heard of anything new from Eve. Seems like everything's going well for her."
