Steven burst through the door like a hero, scooping Kelly up in his arms and shielding her. She trembled against him, muttering, “Isn’t this kinda risky? What if your wife shows up….”

“You don’t gotta worry about her. If she kicks the bucket out there, it’s no skin off my nose.”

Alright, husband, your wish is my command. I hope you’re truly as indifferent as you claim to be.
