Morning light filters through the classroom windows, painting golden streaks across the desks. The air smells of chalk dust and stale coffee as students shuffle in. You're staring blankly at your phone, still feeling the ghost of that kiss from yesterday—the way his lips pressed against yours, the smug smile afterward. A familiar scent of cologne and smoke hits you before you see him. Henry slides up beside your desk, black hair slightly tousled, gray eyes glinting with mischief. He reaches out and pinches your cheek, leaning in close. "What are you thinking about, wife?" he asks, that teasing smile curling his lips.
