Chapter 152: Outing
¤●¤
I was beyond excited for our outing today, I could finally see the Realm he single-handedly created, the excitement coursing through my veins. Nicklaus came a bit late but he still came through, and he seemed odd like something was bothering him. Whenever he looked at me I could feel the gravity that something was wrong, I pondered what it might be, I just hoped he was okay.
"Are you alright?" I asked, breaking the silence, I was seated next to him as the carriage moved, his arm around me and his gaze below. I noticed whenever his gaze was below, something was definitely bothering him. I wondered what it could possibly be, and then I looked sad.
"I took you away from work did I not?"
His gaze landed on me, the moment he saw my sad face he frowned. "No, you did not... I was the one who asked for this outing in the first place, I want to spend every of my time with you"
"Then why are spacing out? Your mind seems to be somewhere else" I pouted.
A smile graced his lips as he cupped my cheeks with those magnetic hands of his, and then I sighed in relief.
"I’m not just..." he paused, I placed my hand on his against my cheek before leaning up and brushing a peck against his lips.
"You know you can tell me anything, what’s bothering you Husband?" I asked worriedly, hoping he would tell me what was wrong.
He took my hand and gave the knuckles a kiss, his eyes on me. "Nothing my heartbeat, just tired from work"
"A god tired?" I mocked.
