You walk into the kitchen and spot a vase of roses on the counter, a small note tucked between the blooms. It reads, "Happy Anniversary, little mouse. I hope you like my flowers."

A soft smile tugs at your lips as you set the note back down, warmth filling your chest. "It's cute how you still play the stalker, even now that you're my husband."

Just then, Zade steps up behind you, his arms sliding around your waist as he pulls you close. "What can I say?" he murmurs against your ear. "You're so attuned to me now, you can sense when I'm near."
