A date… what a strange idea.
Heaven and Dominic's marriage was no different from an arranged marriage. Perhaps, worse. They never dated — not that the idea never crossed him. They simply didn't get a chance. Or rather, Heaven never gave this marriage a chance.
The reason her suggestion sounded utterly strange to him.
"If you really mean that, then let's have a late-night date. I don't think we ever dated before and after marriage."
Dominic stared at Heaven quietly for a moment, repeating her suggestion in his head. "True. We never did." His voice was calm but quiet, keeping his gaze on her.
"Should we give it a try?" she cocked her head to the side, smiling. "What do you say?"
There was a moment of silence that descended in the kitchen. The two of them stared at each other without showing any sign they wanted to look away.
