The rest of the week passed with Kalina and Dominique spending each day together. Joline had issued a strict decree that they were not allowed to return to work until they had gone on their honeymoon. Despite her curiosity, Joline refrained from pressing Dominique about their delayed trip, as he continued to assure her that he had a surprise planned.
Unable to attend to her flower shop, Kalina relied on daily reports sent via email to keep her informed about the business. Although she missed being there in person, the updates reassured her that everything was running smoothly.
Despite the pleasant days spent together, Kalina couldn't shake her irritation at Dominique for leaving a visible hickey on her neck. Even after nearly a week, the mark remained prominent against her fair skin, a constant reminder of their intimate encounter.
