It was not the response I was expecting but it was still in its early stages.

There was plenty of time for Silas to fuck up.

Was it wrong of me to expect the worst? It was my restaurant on the line, my sweat and blood. I had sacrificed so much to make it work.

But experience dictated that I was setting myself up for disappointment.

Silas came upstairs every few hours, definitely to feed me an early lunch before the restaurant opened and then again after the rush dissipated.

Dinnertime was the same.

“You can’t work fifteen hours a day,” I told him begrudgingly a week after he arrived. “I’m going to promote Evelyn to manager so she can handle the nights.”

He looked at me with alarm.

“Why? Do you need me here more often? How are you feeling? Do we need to go back to the doctor?”

“Maggie, what is it? Talk to me?”

I swallowed my consternation and lowered my gaze.

“You’re working too much. I think you should slow down a bit.”

He looked at me, his full mouth parting slightly as he stared at me in disbelief.

Suddenly he laughed, perching on the edge of the bed with his hand resting casually against my hip.

“Babe, don’t you remember that we did this for years?” he reminded me gently, reaching forward to brush a stray strand of hair away from my forehead. “This is second nature to us.”
