"How long have we been married?" I ask as Alex opens the door.
"Three years." He responds.
His voice is distant but his touch is gentle and it makes me wonder what type of marriage we've had.
It's been a week since I've been in the hospital and I got sick of it. I wanted to come home, but I didn't know where my home was when Ariana, who happens to be my mother-in-law, told me she's my family.
If it was up to her, I would have moved into their house before moving back with Alex and it made me realize immediately that his family is warm and they seem to like me.
Although, from how awkward it's been, I couldn't help but wonder if there is love between us.
"Oh my God!" The gasp leaves my mouth as I drink in the view. I knew it was a beautiful house just from the view on our way here, but I wasn't so sure, but now I am.
"You like it?" His deep voice reaches my ear and I jump about to turn when I lose my balance but he holds me before my ass can kiss the floor.
"Careful."

"Yes. Uhm... it's beautiful."
He nods and grabs my bag and steps in.
"I'll get a bath started for you but first I'll show you your room." He announces and
