Lyman didn't argue with Effie, because deep down, he felt exactly the same way.

Effie went on, "Honestly, if you wanted to go out with them for a bit, I wouldn't stop you. Just because we're married doesn't mean we have to be glued together all the time, right?"

Before she finished speaking, Lyman squeezed her hand tightly.

Effie glanced up and saw the tense furrow between his brows.

His gaze was complicated as he looked at her. "Already tired of me?"

Tired? As if!

"No, that's not it. I just mean... getting married doesn't mean you have to give up your friends. You deserve your own space too."

Lyman shook his head. "I don't want it. I like being with you. All the time."

Effie was caught off guard for a moment. "You'll get sick of me."

"I won't. Never," Lyman said, firm and unwavering.

Something slammed into Effie's heart, making it beat wildly. She gripped his hand even tighter.
