“Is that truly why? Or does it have to do with my mother’s demand?

Remember, marriage is about us two…”

“Sanford, I genuinely believe it’s too soon.

Let’s think about it in two years,” Maggie cut in, eager to steer away from the topic of Janiya.

Sanford fell silent, gently stroking her hair.

“Alright then.

Have you eaten anything?”

Maggie inhaled deeply, attempting to lift her spirits.

“Not yet.

”

“I’ll order now, then.

”

Sanford pulled out his phone, poised to order.

“I can cook,” Maggie interjected.

Sanford regarded her, querying, “Aren’t you exhausted?”

Maggie shook her head with resolve.

“I’m quite alright.

”

Tears had reddened her eyes, lending her a fragile air.

Sanford enfolded her in an embrace.

“Would you rather we do something else first?”

He had been away on business for several days and longed for her presence.

His kiss was as tender and fervent as ever.

Maggie wrapped her arms around him, her eyes shut as she reciprocated with fervor.

Gone was her usual timidity and reserve, replaced by a burning fervor.

Sanford, taken aback, rasped, “Maggie, have you missed me these past days too?”

With a soft breath, Maggie nodded and leaned in for another kiss.

Mid-embrace, she began unfastening his shirt, gently guiding him onto the couch.

Sanford’s eyes, deep with desire, sparkled like the night sky.

With a smile at her assertiveness, he teased, “Maggie, do you want to be on the top?”
