He froze. "Wear what?""A bunny outfit.""What, scared?"He clenched his jaw. "No.""Deal." I kissed him. "When I'm healed, we're having fun."His stare burned. His throat moved. "You're playing with fire.""Then burn me.""Winona!""What?""Tease me again and you're not leaving this bed today.""Like I'm scared of you."In the end, I didn't leave the bed.He just didn't stop.But... I liked it.***During recovery, Leon treated me like I'd crack.Every morning, breakfast was ready. Every night, he came home with more supplements.I sprawled on the couch scrolling while he worked beside me, sneaking looks."Can you not stare?" I rolled over. "It's creepy.""Can't even look?""No."He didn't argue. Just went back to his files.After a while, I sneaked a glance at him.He was already looking at me.Our eyes met. My face heated. I looked away fast."Winona.""What?""You're blushing.""No.""Yes." He set the files aside and leaned in. "You said I stare, but yo

"Oh—I just remembered I've got something to do. I should go.""Don't." I grabbed her sleeve. "Weren't you staying for dinner?""Next time." She winked. "You two enjoy."She snatched her bag and bolted.Now it was just me and Leon in the living room.He stood there, looking at me."Leon, can you not look at me like that?" Guilt crept in. "I only had one drink. Seriously.""Not even one." He sat beside me. "Do you know what happens when alcohol mixes with your meds?""I know." I waved him off. "I won't drink next time.""Next time?""I mean..." I scratched my head. "Fine. I won't drink. Happy?"He watched me, then sighed. "Winona, can you stop making me worry?""How am I making you worry? It was one glass.""You invited someone over.""Suki's my best friend. So?""That's not what I mean." He rubbed his temple. "If someone's coming over, tell me first.""Why?""Because I'm your husband." His eyes held mine. "Whatever you do, I want to know."My heart skipped. I looked aw

His eyes reddened. He lowered his head and kissed me.This time it felt urgent. Uneasy.I kissed him back, arms tight around his waist.After a long moment, he pulled away, forehead resting on mine. "Winona, I'll go with you tomorrow.""Okay."***The next day, Leon and I went back to my parents' place.Mom had the table stacked like it was Thanksgiving. The second she saw us, she lit up. "Leon's here too. Come sit."Leon gave his polite little nod and took the seat next to me.Dad stayed at the head of the table, staring like we were a problem he hadn't solved yet."Valerie's not here?" I asked."Almost. She said she's close." Mom checked the time. "Any minute."Right on cue, the doorbell rang.Mom rushed to open it.There she was. Valerie. White dress. Long hair. Soft smile.Miss Perfect Returns."Dad, Mom, I'm back."Mom's eyes went red as she pulled her inside.Valerie saw us and paused. "Winona. Leon.""Valerie." I nodded.Leon didn't say a word. Just glanced a

"Winona, you're here."I dropped into the seat across from her. "Just say what you need to say."She hesitated. "I know you resent me.""Resent?" I let out a short laugh. "That doesn't even cover it. Do you have any idea how miserable I was after you ran off?"She lowered her head. "I'm sorry.""Does sorry fix anything?" I stared her down. "When you ditched your own wedding, did you think about me even once?""I—""You didn't," I cut in. "You only think about yourself. That's your thing."Her eyes turned red. "I know I was wrong.""So what?" I stood. "Valerie, once it's done, it's done. An apology doesn't rewind anything.""Winona—""And one more thing." I met her gaze. "Leon is mine. Don't get cute."She froze. "I wouldn't...""You better not." I grabbed my bag. "I'm done."I walked out of the café and sucked in a long breath.My phone rang.Leon."Hello?""Where are you?""Just walked out.""I'll pick you up.""No, I can—""Be good. Wait for me."Click.Of cou

"What's this?""Didn't you say you wanted to try cosplay?"I glared. "When did I say that?""You did last time.""I said YOU should wear it.""I have one too." He pulled out cat ears from behind his back. "Together?"I stared at his serious face and lost it. The guy who's always holding back only gets like this with me."Fine." I grabbed the bunny ears. "You first."No hesitation—he put them on. The black ears didn't match him at all, which somehow made it worse."Meow?" He tilted his head.I laughed so hard I almost folded. "Okay, stop!"He scooped me up and carried me toward the bathroom. "Time to check your homework.""What homework?""Bunnies should behave.""Leon, you pervert!""Yeah." He glanced down at me. "Your hubby's a pervert."***I woke up sore.Again.Leon was already gone. Like always, he'd set breakfast and medicine by the bed.I was about to take them when my phone rang.Valerie."Winona, can I come over?"I frowned. "Why?""I just want to talk.
