"Do you want to go do something?" I ask, hoping to get Dominic's mind off the letter. "Or are you tired from the trip?" "I can sleep later. What do you want to do?" "I'm not sure. I was honestly throwing out the idea and hoping you would suggest something." "I haven't eaten since this morning. We could go get some food." "Okay." I crawl over him on the bed but he grabs hold of me before I can get up, our faces aligned for a kiss. "Did I tell you how much I missed you?" "Yes," I say, waiting for the kiss to happen. It doesn't. "Good. Just wanted to make sure I told you." He lets me go and gets up to grab his coat. "You know, nobody had insulted me for an entire week. I feel weird." "Funny you should mention that because I was just going to say that you seemed a little out of shape.
