Meeting old acquaintances

"Our rockstar deserved every single penny spent on him," Santiago said, dismissing her thought of being a little too much of a spendthrift. 

"Santiago, how rich are we?" Persephone suddenly asked him. Although it was a bit late in asking, still it was better late than never. 

"Not crazy rich like the CEOs your novels feature but enough to afford a comfortable lifestyle as long as I work hard," Santiago replied to her. If his new projects bring great returns, they wouldn't have to worry about their whole life. It would be enough to last him a lifetime if they spend economically. 

"Thank god, otherwise I will feel guilty for making you poor," Persephone sighed in relief. 

Santiago rolled his eyes. His woman was unapologetically dramatic. Then again, her dramatic behaviour makes her cute. 

They were out of the store facing each other when he heard her call him. 

"Santiago?"

"Yes?" He looked at her and waited for her to speak.
