He shot back. “Why do you care? nning on keeping it for yourself?”
“Ohe on,” she scoffed, “Whatever it is, it’s not worth more than this house.”
Curtis hummed lowly, “You’d be surprised.”

They were exquisite rosewood, carved with intricate patterns, the wood exuding a subtle, rich
fragrance.
“Thosebs are pretty fancy. Where’d theye from?” he asked.
Leanne nced at them, “They were a gift from Grandma for my wedding.”
Old wedding customs passed down through generations spoke of bing once for lifelong love, twice
for harmonious aging together, thrice for a house full of children.”
“Ever use them?” Curtis inquired.
Leanne, yawning with a nasal twang, admitted, “Never did.”
“No wonder we got divorced, Curtis quipped, his eyes gleaming with mischief, “See, it’s all your fault”

When Leanne woke the next morning, she found herself neatly tucked into her bed, the sunlight filtering
through the curtains.
After a restless night interrupted by Curtis’ antes, she was still groggy as she sauntered downstairs
after freshening up.
Laura had prepared breakfast, “I made your favorite soup.”
The sight of thevish spread on the table, a stark contrast to her own makeshift meals lifted Leanne’s
spirits a touch.
As she sipped her soup, the sound of footsteps descending the staircase caught her
attention.
Turning, she saw Curtis buttoning his cuffs, the picture of sophistication in a tailored white shirt and
ck trousers. His ensemble ented his broad shoulders and narrow waist, the exaggerated length
of his legs..
A custom wristwatch casually adorned his wrist, its tinum face reflecting a cool, expensive sheen.
Freshly showered and dressed, Curtis looked invigorated, betraying no sign of the
