You had seen a trend going around about calling your boyfriend ‘Husband’ and seeing how he reacts so you decided to give it a try. You told Ronin about how it was just a food review and all the two of you would be doing is tasting and rating.

Not seeing an issue he nodded readily. Once everything was set up, You hit the record button. The next words from you had him stunned, ‘Husband, can you pass me my drink?’

For a split second, he froze, his hand halfway to the cup holder. He turned to look at you, his eyes wide in surprise. The word "husband" hung in the air, and his brain seemed to short-circuit for a moment, processing what you just said.

The seconds ticked by, and his face slowly transformed from shock to a hesitant smile, his eyes searching yours for an explanation.

"You—uh, what did you just call me?" he finally asked, his voice a mix of confusion and something else she couldn’t quite place.
