Two years had passed since | last saw Gregory smoke. Not once had | smelled the faintest hint of tobacco on him.
It must have been a particularly tough tfor him.
Gregory kissedwith a tenderness and passion that felt like the first bloom of love, pouring all his fervor into
me. My knees weakened, and only by his hands steadyingat my waist did | manage to stay upright.
Sensing my instability, he wrapped his arms aroundand, while continuing to kiss me, walked backward until
we sat down on the couch. His hands, with their distinctively defined wrists, grasped my calves and gently
parted them, invitingto straddle him. Then, he heldcloser, kissingwith a wild abandon that left me
breathless.

“Gregory, didn’t you hear?”
“No, it’s not that,” he said, playfully pinching my waist. “The last part. Say it again.”
“I thought you hated being called that?” | teased, trying to hold back laughter. | remembered when Dorothy used
to call him by that nickname, and he always despised it.
Gregory knew exactly what | was referring to and chuckled. “You said it yourself. | don’t like others calling me
that. Are you ‘others’? Jane, from the moment you were born, you
were meant to be mine.”
“That does make sense,” | mused. Our families had arranged our marriage when | was
born.

Gregory raised an eyebrow. “So, say it again.”
“I won't... Ah... Stop, that tickles!”
