My head throbs as I sit silently beside Carter, waiting for our gate to open to start our journey home.

I rest my head back against the wall and shut my eyes. There’s a large family with overly loud children sitting opposite us. I pray to God they’re not going to be flying first class, because I’m not sure my head could take this noise for hours on end in a confined space.

“Don’t they just make you never want to have kids?” I mutter, not opening my eyes to see if he realises I’m talking to him.

“They’re just enjoying themselves.”

“No, they’re being little shits is what they are.”

“How would you know? Your eyes are shut.”

“I have ears, Carter.”

“Yeah, so they’re a little loud, but they’re just playing a game. If you really paid attention, you’d hear them laughing. They’re happy. They’re not getting in anyone’s way. They’re just passing the time without complaining. Unlike someone I know.”

“Well,” I huff, “they should read a book or something. Anything that’s quiet.”

“Maybe they can’t read.”

“Really? Their parents can afford for the entire family to fly to Vegas, but the kids can’t read. I highly doubt that.”

He doesn’t respond, forcing me to turn to look at him.

“What?” I ask when I see his brows drawn together in concern.

“Nothing. I just wasn’t expecting you to be such a judgemental bitch.”

His words hurt, but as I think back over what I just said, I can’t really argue. There could be a million reasons why those kids aren’t reading a book right now, and who am I to judge?

“You’re right. I’m sorry. It’s the hangover.”

“I feel like shit too, but I’m not picking holes in anyone.”

“Oh, so you’re not judging me right now?”

“You’re my wife. I’m allowed.”

“I don’t remember that being in the vows.”

“Funny, because I didn’t think you remembered any of them.”

His word hit exactly where he intends, and I snap my lips shut. As much as I might enjoy this teasing banter with him, I’m exhausted. I’ve no idea what time it was when we eventually got back to the suite last night, all I know is that I’ve not had anywhere near enough sleep to deal with this.

I’ve had a few more hazy flashbacks from the night in question, but nothing of any significance. I have an image of a jewellers in my head, and for some reason I keep thinking of blue forget-me-nots. It could be a coincidence, my mind playing tricks on me, but something tells me it’s real.

I could ask about it, but he seems set on withholding details of that night from me, so it stops me.

“I’m assuming you don’t want kids, then?” Carter asks out of the blue after being quiet for a number of minutes.

“What makes you say that?” It’s a stupid question, and I regret it instantly. “I do, actually. Not yet, but one day in the future.”

“As long as they don’t make any noise in an airport,” he deadpans.

“I’ll just warn them to stay away from hungover people.
