As they returned to their room, Anna deliberately took a step behind him. She somehow felt Dave was upset. He was quieter than usual, and that made her ask. Was that because of her?

She kept quiet even after they entered the room. But her eyes didn't leave Dave in the kitchen gulping down water as if trying to cool something in his body. And when he refilled his glass, she walked over to him.

"You mad at me?" she asked beside him.

"No." His answer was short, and he took another sip.

Anna was silent again and watched his every move. It was only after he put down his glass that she reached his hand, grabbed it, and led him to follow her to the sofa.

He said nothing, and neither did she. And when they arrived on the sofa, she motioned for him to sit down, followed by her beside him. But when she was about to let go of her hand, he held it as if he didn't want their link to break. So they stayed to talk like that.

"Why are you mad at me?" She broke the silence between them in the calmest

    He was working on his tablet while enjoying the sea breeze brushing against his skin. It gave a calm as the sound of the waves came alternately, provided a natural vibe, and eased his mind to focus more on what he was doing. Reading some reports.Yes, he was working while enjoying the sea. And, of course, he didn't come alone. There were two precious women in his life with him.A smile crossed his lips at the thought. He finally added someone new to his life, his wife, which probably would add up as their marriage progresses.Then he shifted his gaze for a moment to the expanse of sand, the sea, and two people became the main characters there. Anna and his mother stood side by side by the sea, feeling the rest of the waves wash over their feet. It seemed they had no intention of going further and using the opportunity to chat casually.And that was what they did."I heard what happened at the party. What was wrong?" Adaline asked as the wave receded and showed her legs.Anna stared st

    Anna was in Jenny's office the following day. It felt weird to find out she was supposed to take Kate to a donation event from the previous organization and ended up here instead. She even came earlier than the owner of the room."Why so early?" Jenny asked as she closed the door. She then walked to her desk, put down her bag, walked over to Anna, and sat down on the sofa in front of her.Anna watched her do everything and answered when Jenny was ready to talk to her. "I wanted to thank you for your message and understanding," she said the best part after the incident. "Oh, and a day off you gave. I used it well," she smirked."I thought you'd need it. That was a situation," Jenny paused for the right words. "What would best describe it?" she asked after finding nothing.Her brow furrowed as her brain worked to find the worst word. "Awful? Embarrassing? Gross?" She racked her brain.Jenny's expression changed as she heard the last words. "Yes, gross. What Kate did was so gross."Anna

    "Who is Adam Green?""He's playing on Lives On."There was a pause of a few seconds.The person on the other end, Dave, seemed confused to find someone picking up his call wasn't someone he was calling, despite a familiar voice. "Mom? Is that you?" He sounded doubtful."Yes, this is your mother," Adaline answered casually."Why is her phone on you? You guys together?""Yes, dear. We have lunch together.""Why didn't she tell me?"Her lips formed a smile, even though she knew it couldn't be seen. "What exactly did she tell you?""She only said about a transfer to Adam Green's team. That's why I asked who he was."Adaline muttered as a conclusion came to her mind. "That's why she keeps her phone within her reach. She's expecting your call," she muttered more to herself, even though it was loud enough for him to hear."Who is expecting my call?""Anna. She's been looking at her phone since we met.""I just came back from a meeting.""Yes, I know. So is Anna. That's why she was just waiti

    "Four coffees, please," Anna told the staff and then took out four bottles from her bag. "And please use this." She added as she handed it to her. After her order was confirmed, she paid for it and moved to stand beside the queue, waiting for her drink to come. Just then, her phone rang."Hi." The greeting was bright to the person on the other side. That was Dave."Hi. Are you busy now?"She looked at the staff, still preparing her coffees. "Not really. I'm just waiting for my coffees."There was three seconds pause before he said, "It's eight, Ann. You can't sleep if you drink coffee at this hour."Yes, it was eight at night, and he was right about having trouble sleeping. Coffee should help wake her up, not the other way around. Meanwhile, it was before going to bed at this hour."I know. But I need that to stay awake. Adam has to shoot all night." She reasoned. If it wasn't for that, she would better go home and sleep in her bed. Oh, she had almost forgotten the last time she had a

    A month passed.Not much had changed in their relationship. Anna and Dave exchanged news daily. Dave would come to her apartment on weekends or any other day when Anna was off. They spent all day talking and having sex, and lots of it. Their relationship looked fine.Like today, they ended the call when lunchtime was over."Text me." And he would always ask for it. If calling was not possible, it differed from messaging. It was possible, though, that they couldn't reply right away."Sure. Should I send pictures too?""That's a great idea.""But it's just my back. Is that okay?"His face turned into a frown when he heard that. Apparently, it was just a prank. "I know you hate selfies, but you can ask Jim to take them for you." He murmured. Jim was the youngest assistant on her team. He also doubled as a driver. No. He was mainly a driver for them."I'm afraid to interfere with the filming process."Dave chuckled, looking in disbelief at her reasoning. "Just taking photos wouldn't have

    "I heard you won't come to Los Angeles this weekend," Adaline said as she started the conversation at dinner. Just the three of them: her, William, and Dave. That was pretty small, wasn't it? There were only three people in their family—four if she added Anna. "Is that true?" She ended with a question.Dave was a little surprised to hear that. "Did Anna tell you that?" he asked back. Ah, a rhetorical question. Anna must have told her because it was their conversation this afternoon. The question should be, why did Anna tell his mom?"Yes. I asked about her plans for the weekend, but Anna said you won't come." Of course. So Anna didn't bring it up all of a sudden. There was always a reason behind it, maybe... "She sounded pretty disappointed." Yes, disappointment."I'm coming, Mom. It was a lie to surprise her.""Oh." Her response was short. "She must be happy to see you.""Yeah. Maybe I should bring a bouquet, so she won't get mad." A second later, he realized something. Anna preferre

    She felt her body heavy. Apart from the drowsiness, she was still hanging on from sleeping almost at dawn. Her bones felt sore. It probably resulted from a long day at work accompanying Adam's shoot. Though what she did was only wait and observe the process. Even so, it was tiring.She really wanted to curl up in her bed and blanket all day. But she couldn't do it because she had an appointment at ten. And so, she forced her heavy body to get up, throwing her warm blanket away, and then went to the bathroom. She had to be prepared because it was already nine.Luckily, no shooting today. If anything, it would be Michael's turn. She had done hers this season. And actually, there were only a few scenes left, and then it was done.That was good news, wasn't it? There were no problems in the shooting process, which was a relief for all parties. The remaining was the post-production process, and then it went live. Then the following year, the same processes would be repeated. And so on unti

    "I want ice cream.""Huh?""I want ice cream," Anna repeated, more determined. Her face showed the same, despite focusing on the road in front of her. Yes, She was driving while calling Dave on speaker mode."You should have dinner first before you have dessert."Oh, she was like a child getting scolded by her father for prioritizing ice cream over meals. But what he said was true. Ice cream or dessert should have been the closer, or she was full before finishing the pizza she bought for dinner."I'll have a piece before buying ice cream," she replied. Dave already knew she had pizza with her now. She only needed to find her favorite ice cream shop, park the car, and have a quick dinner. After that, chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla ice cream were ready to touch his tongue. Just imagining it made her excited."You're weird these days. Suddenly want to eat something but sometimes loses appetite." He pointed at her randomness the last few days.To be honest, she also felt strange about

    Anna peered through the common bathroom door on the first floor before stepping out casually as if nothing had happened. She walked past Dave, who was sitting on the couch in their living room and reading a report on his tablet, with Zach crawling on the floor."Zach, baby, come here." She called for Zach's attention, which was never hard to get. "Let's play outside."And his reaction was predictable. He was running toward his mother excitedly. His smile was so big that it was going to explode.Being a child seemed fun, didn't it?She followed him, running out of the house to their yard barefoot. She couldn't help her own smile from forming on her face at seeing him and another happiness she had just found out about today.She was pregnant with their second child.But be quiet. Anna wanted to make a surprise for her husband.Oh, she couldn't wait to see his reaction!"Zach, come here. Mommy wants to say something to you."Zach halted his running to look at his mother with an indescrib

    Three years later.She watched everything. Their every move, laugh, giggle, scream, and more. She couldn't help but grace a wide smile over that. It was too good to be true. But it was what that was as it was the reality.Baby Zach was now three years old and in his active days. He had run on every corner of the house and was always excited to run outside.Although it tired their body from following him around, she didn't complain, especially Dave. He always had the energy to play with him and never ran out of ideas. He raised their child with all his heart.She shook her head to force herself back to her place. She couldn't only observe them all the time, as she needed to finish the cookie dough.Zach had the exact liking as hers for sweets. So she tried to be the best mom by baking them instead of buying them outside or ordering chefs to make them. It was cheaper and could adjust to her family preferences, which she wanted, not too much sugar.As Dave said, sugar was a killer.She

    "Hi, baby boy. I'm happy you're awake, and I can hold you. Your mother must feel the same way. But she's resting now, so let's not disturb her and play with me instead." His voice was laced with happiness as his eyes flitted the same feeling. There was nothing happier than this moment when he finally held baby Zach. And the fact that he was born healthy was wonderful. It could be perfect if his wife's recovery went well.Baby Zach wriggled his tiny hands and managed to capture Dave's finger. He gripped it though his eyes were still closed. Baby Zach might sense familiar and safe, so baby Zach didn't cry, which made Dave's heart swell with pride and warmth. Only his touch could do that, and he couldn't be more proud of that."What do you think about this world? It's amazing, isn't it? You have me, your mother, and your entire family by your side. And in the future, you will find your own friends."Baby Zach was just quiet, and if his grip was not still on his finger, Dave might have th

    A few months later.Anna was closing drawers after checking what was inside was still inside.It might be confusing. The point was Anna had just finished looking at their baby’s needs, such as clothes, diapers, socks, blanket, and more. She wanted to make sure everything was ready when the time came, which was soon. Her due date should be this week, and she couldn’t be more excited to finally welcome their baby.She moved to the only bed in the room. It was big and had four wooden walls on four sides to protect the baby from falling. And it was the one Dave said could accommodate her body while breastfeeding their baby. She even could sleep on it too.Her hand touched the doll on the nearby side and placed it neatly between another doll and the pillow. She had some, mainly cute animal characters, to accompany him while he was sleeping.Yes, him. Their baby was a boy.“Do you like it, honey? It’s nice, right? Your father prepared them for you.” She spoke as her hand caressed her so big

    "I saw everything, Anna. I know what you hide behind your back." His eyebrows raised as if waiting for her to reveal it by herself. There was no point in hiding it anyway since it was why he approached her. He already saw her enjoying the ice cream!"What do you mean?"So she was going to play with him. Unfortunately, he didn't want to pretend that he did not see that. "The bowl. Ice cream."And she could only force a grin."Come here." His hand reached out to invite her to come near him."No. You will scold me.""That means you know you were doing wrong. How many bowls have you had?""Hmm. Five?""Count it correctly, honey.""Okay. Okay. Nine." She raised both her hands in the air and surrendered herself."No, honey. The bowl in your back is the eleventh."He actually didn't have a problem with her enjoying the ice cream. But Anna liked overeating, and she might have more if he didn't watch her."Good job Dave. She needs to be more careful with her health." Rebecca, standing beside h

    Finally, the day they had been waiting for came. It was hectic but also fun. Their friends and families gathered together to celebrate the happy day. What was more pleasing than that?The vow went well. Although Anna felt more nervous, everything was perfect this time compared to the real one. Her father led her to the altar and handed her to Dave, which generally did at a wedding ceremony. And she and his husband stated their vow again and became husband and wife one more time.And to make it perfect, he sealed their vow with a kiss on her lips. Then cheers and applauses filled the hall.It was indeed a favorable moment. And it lasted until night."It's a pleasure to finally meet the newest Mrs. Byrne." Alexander greeted Anna and took her hand to land a quick kiss, like how a gentleman met a lady for the first time. "My name is Alexander Green.""Oh!" Anna couldn't help but show her surprise. She heard a lot about him from Dave, but this was the first time they met in person."Based

    She felt warm on her skin. Also, a soft and warm breeze brushed over her neck, bringing a shiver to her body. A second later, she sensed warmth moving on her swollen belly, rubbing it so gently as if fearing to wake her up."Hmm." She stirred from her sleep, the result of those doings. Only then did she realize hands wrapped around her, and she knew whose those were. "Dave." Her voice came throatily from sleep."I'm sorry I woke you up." He mumbled against the nook of her neck.She heard it but didn't want to answer him as her voice was stuck in her throat. But she couldn't do it anymore when her eyes fluttered open and dark welcomed her through a glass wall which gave a view of the dark sky. "It's still dark.""Yes.""What time is it?""It's past midnight.""Why aren't you sleeping?"Instead of replying, he tightened his arms and dug his face deeper into her neck. His hand slipped inside her nightdress and caressed her tummy. "I can't sleep.""Why?" She wriggled her body to turn arou

    "The preparation is doing good, right?" Dave asked Eddie, General Manager of The Byrne Hotel in Los Angeles, as they took a look at the hall designated for his event to take place. It was still filled with other decorations, as it would be occupied for someone's event for tonight."Yes. We have everything that we need ready. Gifts also have arrived, and we're working to put them into goodie bags."Dave nodded his head in understanding. "Pack them nicely and make sure those are right for each occasion. Don't get confused." He gave further orders.As planned, they would split the event into two, the vow and the party. And because of that, they would use a separate hall, decorations, gifts for guests, food, and more. They had different preparation for each occasion."Sure. We have a lot of experience with these things. I assure you everything will be in expert hands. You can enjoy your time with your bride.""Okay. I trust you with this.""Yes."Then they walked together for a few minute

    "I'm like a dolphin already!" Her voice echoed throughout the room. She was standing in front of the mirror, checking her appearance from the reflection. She wore an A-line midi dress in black, which fell nicely on her body. But it also made her baby bump visible."Says who?" Dave was walking toward her while buttoning his shirt."Me." She still focused on her own reflection, as if looking for something to satisfy her."Then you're wrong. You don't look like one at all." He slipped his arms around her waist. "Instead, you look sexier." He landed a kiss on her neck and began to stroke her stomach gently. It was almost six months, and the bump was pretty big."Don't lie to me, Dave. Look at me. Everything in my body is swollen now. Even my cheeks are full.""That's what makes you sexy, honey. I like how your body changes."She narrowed her eyes at his reflection. "Liar.""I'm not. I'm being honest with you.""I don't believe you."There was a sound of a sigh before he planted the last k
