Exhaustion Pays Off

In the evening, Dion returned home with a sore body. He had never worked a full day or night. His job so far didn't require him to move much either. But this was the first time he had to lift a lot of drinks, going around the bar to give customers their orders.

"Uhh... My body feels broken," he complained.

When he opened the door, he smelled the wonderful aroma of bread from inside the house. He followed the scent and saw in the kitchen that there was some bread on the table including dinner for him and Jillian.

Recognizing Dion's return, she turned and smiled.

"Welcome home, Dion," she greeted him.

He returned Jillian's smile and pulled her into his arms. Feeling the warmth of his wife whom he loved so much. It felt like the fatigue from working all day was starting to ease. He kissed Jillian's forehead then hugged her back.

Now it was just the two of them, no one would disturb them.
