"Maybe a hot salted caramel latte?"
Her jaw dropped.Howdid he know that was her happy pill?
His lips twitched, and Summerine absolutely hated the way her heart skipped a beat over such a simple thing.
"I had your background checked, remember?"
She watched him head over to the counter where their coffee machine was, and Summerine was treated to the unexpected sight of Ryu getting rid of his blazer in order to roll his sleeves up to his elbows.
Oh...no.
She never used to notice the way the muscles in his arms flexed with his every move. Why did she have to start doing so...just when she knew for sure that he had another woman in his life?
"All done."
Summerine knew without being told that those words were a subtle command for her to joined him, and she could feel him watching her as she took one of the bar stools.
"T-Thank you for this."
She pretended not to notice his frown at the way she stammered. Summerine raised the cup to her lips and took a sip.
Oh.
"It seems I've just found one of your soft spots."
Only after hearing the smile in his words did she realize that she had actually ended up closing her eyes.
Becauseyes,it was that good.
But...what about him?
Why was it always so easy for her husband tocorrectlyguess everything about her while—-
"Would you like to know what mine is?"
And he was doing it again!
Amusement gleamed in his dark eyes. "Your face gives away everything."
She stared at him darkly. "I wish it didn't."
"That's a pity then," her husband didn't hesitate to parry back, "since I'd rather you stay as you are."
I don't believe you.
"You don't believe me?"
Aaaargh!
Summerine covered her face just tostophim from reading her expression, but this only made her husband chuckle.
"You're surprisingly easy to tease."
Summerine didn't allow herself to be baited, her face still hidden behind her hands.
"If you want to know what my soft spot is, I'll need to see your face, though."
"What for?" Her voice came out muffled, with her hands still acting as a shield.
