"Sis, has your husband ever taken you for a joyride?"

On the road, the heavy motorcycle cut through the wind at high speed. Kane had to repeat his question twice before I could barely make out his words.

A flicker of melancholy passed through my eyes, but I forced a smile. "On our wedding day, he personally drove the wedding car and took me for a big loop around downtown. Does that count?"

"That definitely doesn't count. It only counts if he regularly takes you out to the countryside for a spin, just because."

My heart instantly ached again.

In our three years of marriage, aside from fulfilling marital duties, he had never done a single sweet, everyday thing with me.

I thought for a moment, then took out my phone, held it up high and snapped a selfie, brazenly posting it on Facebook.

"I've been into thrilling challenges lately. Turns out motorcycle rides are so exhilarating!"

Goldie liked it instantly.
