“So, you’re happy to go for us again?” Indina, my manager, looked over her glasses at me. I nodded.

“More than happy,” I assured her. “I really enjoyed the gala. I’m sure that this will be fun too.”

“Good.” She nodded and then leaned in close as though sharing a secret with me. “I hate these kinds of things. Reason I got into library work was so I didn’t have to worry about fancy parties all the time, but it seems like it comes as part of the territory.

I laughed and leaned back, touching the necklace around my throat. Kristo had given it to me a couple of days ago, a thank-you for Sunday. It was pale, delicate silver with a single pearl pressed into a small claw at the center, and I thought it was about the most beautiful thing I had ever seen.

“Well, I’ve got you covered,” I promised her. “Don’t you worry. I’ll be there.”

“Wonderful.” She nodded. “That’s all I needed you for. Thanks.”

I headed back to work and bit my lip as I imagined going to another one of those big, fancy parties all over again. A few months ago, I would have been on her side. I didn’t get into a business as unglamorous as this one because I wanted to be traveling around the country schmoozing people up. But that gala had been what had brought me to Kristo in the first place, so maybe I was better at this kind of thing than I thought I was.

I headed back to my desk to pick up where I’d left off with the filing. It was monotonous work, but it allowed my mind to wander, and I let it stray to the night we’d met again. All those people I’d chatted up—and apparently made an impression on if some of them were coming to the fundraiser to see me again—and only one of them had really stuck with me. The man I was married to. My husband.

I grabbed my phone out of my pocket and sent him a text suggesting we meet for dinner that evening and telling him about the fundraiser that was happening soon. Knowing him, he’d likely throw a big pile of his own money at the library just to make a point as well as buying me a dress so expensive, it could have funded a whole library all by itself.

He agreed at once, replying to my text barely a minute later and making me grin with a kiss at the end of the message. Fuck, I was looking forward to seeing him. It was weird because I was already married to and living with this man, yet I still got those early-relationship flutters whenever I heard from him, whenever he showed this kind of interest in me. The paradox sometimes made my head spin, but like so many other things to do with our romance, I didn’t think about it too hard and tried to go with the flow as best I could.
