You know there was definitely something to having something to look forward to in your day, or even in your week. Dassen suddenly felt really damn good in multiple ways. It wasn't just going through the motions. He loved the fact that after being with Adeline there was no awkward air at all. They both made their choice and lived with it.

Nor did she care if he wanted to touch her, and it had actually been her who came to him the second night. Like he was going to say no.
