I woke up to kisses on my face.
"Sleepyhead," Sly kissed my hair. "Don't you think it's time to wake up from your beauty sleep? It's almost eight o'clock."
I frown at him, "aren't you going to work, today?"
"Nah, I took the day off, today. I want to spend time with my darling," he kissed my forehead.
"Can you stop that, already?" I yawn, "your cute husband is famished."
"That's why I asked Marli to bring the food up to your room when she's through."
"Thank you," I smile at him, "you are the best."
"You don't need to say more. I know I'm the best husband in the entire world."
And I didn't counter his words. In truth, Sly is the best husband in the entire world.
He was the one who released me from the clutches of my stepmother. And for that, I will be forever indebted to my husband.

Sly leaned on the door, his eyes gleamed with mirth as he watched me. "Are you ready for the surprise?"
