It has been a week and two days since Ava and I returned from our honeymoon, and I wasn't ready to face reality yet. You know, going back to work and having a lot on my schedule?
But, I had no choice. I stood in front of the mirror, adjusting my cufflinks, tie, and slicking back my hair. I gave myself a once-over before grabbing my briefcase.

"Sarcasm?" I asked.
"Oh my goodness,"
