Levi arrived home from work earlier than usual, he was eager at the chance to spend some quality time with his wife. He had noticed that she seemed to be thawing towards him, and that made him really excited.
He had gotten to the point where he no longer wanted to fight his feelings, he was ready to admit that he wanted Lyse. It seemed that everything that tried to pull them further apart made him want to reach for her even more.
He was afraid to voice out his feelings, Lyse seemed very skeptical about his motives, not that he could blame her. Theirs was an unorthodox start to a relationship but he hoped that there was a chance for them. And that she would learn to trust him so that he could lay his heart bare before her. Maybe then, he would tell her exactly how they had gotten married.
However, as he stepped through the door, Levi was greeted by Mr Dalton who approached him. "Welcome back, Mr. Van Doren."
