I nibbled lightly at the food on my plate. Rion had really gone above and beyond to put this dinner together, but I was on guard. The last time he had a conversation with me, he’d sent me away and been so angry.
I didn’t know what to expect.
“Are you… holding up okay?” Rion asked.
I lifted my eyes and met his curious gaze. I couldn’t tell if he was actually concerned or just trying to figure me out. At this point, I wasn’t sure if it mattered.
“I’m holding things together.” I nodded and rolled some vegetables around on my plate with my fork.
Fireflies started blinking over the gardens, and I couldn’t help the smile that tugged at my lips. It was a very romantic, intimate setting, something I’d expect from my husband.
“What’s funny?” Rion asked, grinning back at me.
“Oh… I was just thinking about how the Rion I know would do things like this for me all the time.” I shrugged and bit my lower lip.
