Nora leaned back in the plush seat with a sense of wonder. She'd driven a few times in her husband's luxury cars. She had even flown for the first time in a private jet. But today's ride was simply extravagant. As the Maybach S650 Pullman drove through the streets she was reminded of the difference between Demetri and Nora's world. She craved peace and quiet while his life was based on opulence and luxury.
Demetri glanced at Nora who seemed to be enthralled by her surroundings and was looking around with a smile on her face. He was never one to have long-winded conversations and for this particular topic already he could feel his tie tighten around his neck like a noose.
Just then Nora looked at him and spoke up in a teasing tone," What's on your mind, Mr. husband?"
Demetri blinked, momentarily taken aback at her perceptiveness and threw her a glance as he said," Nora, whatever happened between us this past week, are you okay with it?"
