For once, I didn't wake up worried about being evicted.
Chester nuzzled me with his morning greetings then began pestering Lucian for his morning walk and food which were scheduled for later. It's difficult to own a dog, but having to only deal with the good parts while your husband has to deal with everything else, feels great.
With the alarm on my phone going off, Lucian closed the gap between us, then wrapped his arms around me to shut it off. "Why do you have that when you don't have class today?"
I melted into his embrace, his warmth seeping through my clothes. "It's your first day back for work. You can't be late."
I say that but I turned around, burying my face into his chest. This may come as a surprise to everyone else, but since having that introductory family meeting, I have decided to at least mooch off something from this guy.
