The food was not the determining factor of love. An individual who truly loved and cared would find anything the partner did charming.
Lost in cooking, Bella did not realize Justin sneaking up behind her.
“Ah!”
She exclaimed as Justin pulled her into his arms, enveloping her in his musky scent.
“You can’t sit still, can you? I haven’t been gone for long, girl. Why aren’t you resting?”
