On a warm weekend morning, the two of them were spending their time in the garden, joking around as they always did. Her husband suggested a small bet during their workout, and, a little too confident in herself, she accepted the challenge… but ended up losing.

He smiled, folding his arms as if he had finally earned a long-awaited reward, and said in a deliberately playful tone:

“Looks like I get to name the forfeit now… are you backing out or keeping your word?”

She turned her gaze away with a playfully shy expression before replying:

“Alright… I’ll accept it—but don’t overdo it!”

He asked her to lie down on the grass beneath him while he did his push-ups, her hands resting over her chest as she looked up at him with eyes full of surprise and amusement. He leaned over her to start, and she teased:

“I have a feeling you’re enjoying this a bit too much.”

He laughed as he went down for the first push-up and answered:

“And why shouldn’t I? It’s part of the prize.”

With every descent, he came closer—leaving a soft kiss on her lips each time.؟
