“Oh, right,” Gwen said, beaming.

After the two of them said goodbye, Caroline gave Kirk a call. “Let’s have dinner together tonight.” Even though they were married, they stayed in their respective homes. Strictly speaking, they had never even had lunch or dinner together. “Sure,” Kirk replied, the corner of his lips already tilting upward in a smile.

“Well then, come to my house. What do you want for dinner? I’ll go buy the ingredients to make it.”

Caroline walked out of the kitchen, carrying the soup pot with her. Kirk’s gaze fell on her. She was wearing an apron with a teddy bear printed on it. Her face was red, even without makeup, and she looked like a ripe apple ready to be plucked from the tree.
