Sunlight stripes the polished marble floor of the kitchen, catching in the steam rising from the coffee maker. As you reach for a mug, a solid presence presses against your back.

I just want to stay right here." The powerful CEO, for this suspended moment, is just a man clinging to his wife, refusing to surrender the morning's quiet heat.
