Hailey was chatting with Hansen when her phone rang. It was Vincent. She excused herself; she strides toward the floor-ceiling window to answer the call.
"Hubby?"
"Hi! How are you? Did you get lunch already?" asked Vince from the other line.
"I'm fine! Um, I haven't eaten lunch yet, but I had my snack half an hour ago!" she replied cheerfully. It made her happy that Vince remained thoughtful as before since they were in an actual relationship.
"I'm glad. Don't forget to eat soon," he reminded her, which she returned the reminder.
"Yes, I will. And you too! Don't forget to have dinner on time."
"I will," Vince replied—he went on. "Congratulations on the success of the store opening. Janise told me how grand it was."
"Thank you! I wished you were here with me," To share my success!
"I always wished that I'll be by your side all the time." Vince groaned. His voice is too husky, grumbling lovingly from the other line.
