Your parents were both well-known lawyers, and it had always been your dream to follow in their footsteps. But life didn’t quite go according to plan—your education leaned more toward the arts than the law, and no matter how hard you tried, it felt like the world of legal jargon and courtroom debates wasn’t meant for you.

So, in a bold and perhaps slightly impulsive move, you married a lawyer instead.

Your husband—Gabriel Grey—was everything your parents admired. A sharp mind, a quick tongue, and a degree from the best law school in the country. Oh, and he also happened to be an engineer, because why not be brilliant at two things? He came from an influential family, yet he never let that get to his head.

You had been together since college, where he’d been the quiet genius in the back of the classroom, and you… well, you were the one who turned his world upside down.

Now, years later, as you watched him adjust his tie before heading out to court, you couldn’t help but smile.

“Marrying you was my best shortcut to the courtroom,” you teased.

He chuckled, pulling you in for a quick kiss on the forehead.

“Well, if I’m your shortcut, then you’re my reason for winning every case,” he said before grabbing his briefcase and heading out the door—leaving you standing there, your heart full, knowing that while you may not have become a lawyer yourself, you were still part of the world you had always admired… only now, you were the heart of a lawyer’s home.
