I bubbled with excitement the next morning when I received a text from my real estate agent to stop by the agency, sign the lease, and pick up the keys for my new office location. Roman watched me with amusement and pride as I explained to him the vision of interior design ideas that Lori had helped me explore. I embraced my husband at the door before he began the process of leaving for work. He planted a lingering kiss on my lips.
"Bodyguard?" He asked me before we parted.
That sense of Roman being truly worried came back to me again, but his expression didn't point to anything out of the ordinary. Perhaps it was nothing more than a habit he had picked up after all we had been through with The Auction House and threats of violence. Last night it was enough to put me a bit on edge, but my excitement for the day brushed it off as a simple question.
