You returned home from the café, a cool drink in hand, to find your husband Domenico lounging on the couch, his gaze shifted to you as you entered, a charming smile on his face.
“How was your day?” he ask, his eyes darting to the drink you were holding.
“It was good” You replied, walking over to sit next to him. “I stopped by the café to get this” You added, taking a sip from your cup. “The guy working there said I was beautiful.”
Domenico's smile faltered momentarily, a dark flash crossing his eyes, but he quickly hid it with a forced chuckle. "Really?" He said, his voice strained. "That's... nice."
You shrugged, continuing your evening without a second thought.
The following day, you and domenico were heading out together, as he drove down the familiar streets, you casually glanced out the window and did a double take.
Your heart skip a beat a you saw smoke billowed into the sky, fire engulfing the café you had visited just the previous day, fire trucks were already on the scene, their sirens wailing as they fought the blaze.
You turned to look at domenico, his face remained neutral, but then you caught the edge of a smirk on his lips, he flashed you an innocent smile before looking straight ahead.
"Looks like a little accident." He said smoothly. "Shame, huh?"
