“I have no idea what you’re talking about, Steven.” Marie said, turning her face away from him as she crossed her arms on her chest.“Are you sure about that, babe?” He asked, swinging her around to face him.“Whoever told you anything was lying. I’m not hiding anything.”“If anything important ever depends on your ability to lie, don’t do it.” He mumbled against her hair before pulling back to hold her face in his hand. Still, she refused to meet his gaze. He decided to put her out of her misery.“No one’s ever tried to take care of me the way you do, Marie. I Can’t think of anyone who’d care about making me happy as you do.”“Steven…”“Shhhhh…I’m talking about my wife.” He said, stroking her hair as she exhaled and melted into his arms.“I mean it, Marie. The only people who’ve done as much as you have for me are people I paid to do so.” He tilted her chin softly until she was forced to raise her shimmering emerald eyes to meet his.“My contact at the awarding body told me someone h

“So, he’s been placed on administrative leave until the investigation is concluded?”“Yup.”“How did he take it?” Marie asked, as she shook out a gray halter neck top from her duffel bag and hung it in the wardrobe. Steven was sprawled on the bed across from her as he watched her unpack.“Not very well. He kept saying I was making a mistake and that his reasons for looking for another job had nothing to do with the leaks.”“The sooner Cadence uncovers the truth, the better so we can put this whole nightmarish episode behind us because I’m so sure…”“Babe, we’re supposed to be getting away from work and every other stressful thing in our lives. We’re supposed to be focusing on how much we love each other.” He said, tugging on her arm as he pulled her to the bed.“How’s therapy been?” He murmured as she leaned against him“Are you asking for genuine reasons?” She teased.“Yes.” He said, trailing her neck with kisses before whispering,“And no. Or maybe both?” She laughed as his lips ti

Stunned, Marie looked across the room and stared at Steven whose eyes were glued to the woman. Perhaps, sending that she wasn't alone, the woman yanked the towel off her head and let out a heart-stopping scream. Startled, Marie screamed as well and held onto Steven.She grabbed the bathroom on the bed beside her and threw it on. Marie yanked her hand away from Steven and glared at him.Could he be more obvious? How could he even be hawking at someone else while she was standing beside him.“Who are you?” The woman asked once all of them had calmed down.“Who are you and what are you doing in our room?” Marie asked in a much harsher tone than she intended. She threw a scalding look at Steven. This was all his fault. The animosity she felt towards this strange woman had everything to do with how her husband had been unable to take his eyes off her perfect body. While Marie packed more cellulite than she was happy about, this woman was all gorgeous skin and curves in the right places.“T

“There's no way I'm getting on that. You're out of your mind.” Marie said, shaking her head as he beckoned onto her.“You owe, Marie. Come on.” Steven tainted, flashing a daring smile at her.“You want me to get on a canopy walk with you? I have a fear of heights, Steven. Did you forget?”“No, I'm very aware. But you've been going to therapy. I think it's high time you started confronting your fears.”“I’ll decide what to do with my fears. Thank you very much.” She said, backing further away from him and crossing her arms over her chest.“Marie, come on. I’ll be right here with you.”“I don't care. That thing wings wildly. I'm not about to fall off into the swamp, Steven.”“Come on, Marie.” He said as more people got in line to explore the canopy walk.He wasn't doing this to goad her, he felt positive that she was ready for this and would crush it if she gave it a try.“I'm not doing it.” She said, shaking her head sideways. She turned to leave when Emma, all carefree and confident,

The next morning Marie awakened to the sound of someone’s raspy breathing. Her eyes flew open and found Steven’s on the floor as he bared his teeth at her.“What? Why are you glaring at me?”“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” He grunted in a brusque tone that set her on edge.“Steven? What’s wrong? Did I say something in my sleep?”“No. You’ve been surprisingly quiet, haven’t you?” Steven replied, pushing himself off the floor and snatching his t-shirt from the bed before heading to the bathroom.Marie massaged her temple as she tried to recount whatever offense she had committed this time to land in his bad books.“Steven?” She called out as she kicked off the covers to follow him.The only reply he gave was the aggressive blast of the shower being turned on. She headed to the sofa and sank into it. If they both took turns in getting upset with each other, what time would be left to enjoy their romantic weekend?Ten minutes later, he emerged from the bathroom with a stern look

Rick sat quietly as Amelia wrapped her arms around him and covered his face with kisses. Steven chuckled as Rick made a face and attempted to wipe off her kisses.“My sweet sweet boy. I missed you.” Amelia cooed, smiling at an unimpressed Rick who looked smothered with her affection.“It's only been three weeks, Granny.”“That’s more than enough time away from my sweet angel, don't you think?” She asked, planting another kiss on his cheek.“Granny!” Rick exclaimed, swerving out of her reach and coming to stand beside him.“Hey honey, why don't you follow Sarah upstairs and pack the rest of your things while I thank Steven and Marie for taking such wonderful care of you.”“How do you know they took wonderful care of me?” Rick challenged.“Well, didn't they?” Amelia countered, arms akimbo.“They did. But you've always told me assumption is the lowest form of knowledge and now you're doing the same thing.”“Richard! Go up there and pack your things and stop bothering me.”Steven smiled a

“Steven?” Marie's voice snapped Steven out of his reverie as he caught himself and straightened up. Marie rounded the corner and came to stand where he was. His eyes darted to the sleeping figure of Sandra who apparently was still asleep. Had she kissed him thinking he was Zed?“I saw Sandra's car in the driveway. Oh, she's asleep.”“Yes… She err… She was waiting for you, actually. She fell asleep a couple of minutes ago.” Steven replied, clamping his hand over his mouth to get rid of the residue of Sandra's lipgloss. He hated that he could taste her lips on his right now.“Steven!”“Huh?”“You seem distracted. I was asking if she told you what's wrong?”“Something about her relationship with Zed. Said he was two-timing her?”“No! He didn't! How dare he?” Marie snapped, earning a raised eyebrow from him.“Let's discuss this in the kitchen so we don't wake her. She practically cried herself to sleep.” He whispered.“Oh, okay.” Marie said, walking with him to the kitchen and taking a se

“You're kidding, right?” Steven demanded as Marie shook her head sideways and tried to get him to calm down. She knew the likely reaction but had no choice but to ask for his help anyway. Her best friend was in a bad state and all that mattered was making sure Sandra got through the next couple of days without falling apart.“I don't want that woman staying here.” He insisted, shaking himself off from her grip and walking towards the bed.“You want me to toss my heart-broken best friend who needs me to the streets? Is that what you want, Steven?”“Marie. I don't want this to become an issue between us?”“Is this even my home?” The words escaped from her mouth before she could stop them. Steven’s eyes darkened as his gaze shot up to her face.“What do you mean is this your home? I invited you to move in. And in case you forgot, we're married.”“Fake-married.” She flung back hotly, crossing her arms over her chest.“Really? Take a moment to listen to yourself, Marie.” He said. The hurt
