The room fell silent. Only the faint sound of kissing and caressing each other could be heard. Paula pulled away from William's kiss to catch her breath. However, she could only stare at him in silence because he pinned her with his intense gaze.
"Sit down, I'll make food for you," William said in a deep voice. Paula was about to stop him but William immediately said, "I'm injured, but I can move well. Especially when it's just cooking," as if he knew what his wife was thinking. Indeed, for William, Paula was now like an open book. It's easy to read because he already knew his wife well.
Paula then sat on a kotatsu chair in the living room, sinking her feet under the electric blankets on the kotatsu table that had been prepared earlier. She was still silent, watching William open the refrigerator to get eggs and crab meat.
