Chapter 72: If It’s You

(From Demetrius's Perspective)

"We... We need to talk!"

It was the first thing I heard after I woke up. It was clear my little wife did not sleep much and she was restless because something was in her mind. Now that she was wearing the necklace I gave her, I could not even read her mind. I thought it was for the best that I did not get into her head and give her the privacy she needed. But at a time like this, I wished I could read her mind. 

"Did you even sleep?" I asked. 

"Yup, I slept enough. Why are you asking? Do I look bad?"

'How can you look bad? You're always cute and pretty.'

"No, you just look... restless."

"Well, I had this question for you since yesterday morning, but I couldn't ask you that even though we were together for quite a while," she said.

"What question?"
