Sterling was by the cabinet, posing his toy.
"Is that thing really that fun?"
I narrowed my eyes and shimmied two steps closer.
He didn't look up. "Yes."
I closed my eyes. Patience.
I deliberately slid my strap down half an inch.
"Do you... want to play something more exciting?"
He looked up, eyes innocent. "Like what?"
Now!
I opened my arms and lunged at him like a hungry tiger.
He side-stepped. Smoothly.

He ran, I chased. I was seeing stars.
This guy has the stamina of a marathon runner and he’s using it to play tag in the master suite!
He ran me in circles for twenty minutes. I didn't even touch the hem of his shirt.
I was panting, hair sticking to my sweaty face, my dress twisted.
"S-stop... running..." I wheezed, holding my waist.
He stood six feet away, clutching the toy. "Stop chasing."
...
Hard power won't work.
Fine. A battle of patience?
I threw myself onto the bed, pulled out my phone, and started playing a MOBA game.
“First Blood!”
My phone blared.
He glanced at me, fingers still adjusting Captain Galaxy’s pose.

This marriage is truly one of a kind.
