When he saw me spacing out, he held up his hand and waved it in front of me a few times. He asked in a concerned tone, “What are you thinking about? Is something on your mind?"
I snapped back to reality, got on my tiptoes, and kissed him on the lips. "I was just thinking about how lucky I am to be married to such a wonderful husband."
Theo grabbed my waist and said lovingly," I’m the lucky one. I must’ve used up three lifetimes' worth of luck to be able to marry you."
We held each other in our embrace. The frustration I was feeling from the matter with Sky dissipated slightly.
After dinner, Theo asked me to go rest in the bedroom while he cleaned up.
When I returned to the bedroom, I got a call from Petra.
She asked me how I had been recently, and why I had yet to visit them after returning to Whaldorf.
I explained that Theo had yet to fully recover and I was worried about him, so I had been following him to the company to help him as much as I could. Then, I promised that I would visit her tomorrow.
Munchkin could be heard calling for me in the background. Petra handed him the phone, and I chatted with him for almost half an hour before we finally hung up.
It was easy for me to fall asleep once I lay down on the bed. Theo was tired from being busy all day too. Once he returned to the room, we showered and got ready for bed.
Just as I was about to fall asleep, Theo’s phone rang.
He picked up the phone. I did not know what was said from the other end, but I saw his expression turn serious as he got up and began putting on his clothes.
I realized that something serious must have happened and became slightly more awake. "What's wrong? What happened?"
"Something happened at the resort. I'm heading over now."
He hung up the phone and grabbed his things, getting ready to leave. I had gotten out of bed too and was preparing to leave with him.
