It... Hurts!

Seeing his wife pout, Loriel couldn't help but smile. Gosh... she was so adorable.

"You know I'm kidding," Loriel replied and kissed his wife's forehead. "I respect your decision and I'll even be the one taking and picking you up from work. That's something I'm looking forward to doing. It'll be a good routine."

Elise smiled at that and then looked at their current dinner preparations.

"Not to mention that I'm excited to have our leftover dinner be my lunch tomorrow so we can save time from cooking another meal. It's quite efficient," Elise said.

"Oh yes, but only if we have leftovers," Loriel said. "I think I have quite an appetite tonight, so I'll just cook you something else in case I eat everything."

Loriel only did that before to not make Elise feel guilty about accepting food from him before, but now it was different. And yet, whatever made Loriel's wife happy, he was more than ready to make it happen.
