Hold My Tear, I’m Getting My Wife Back!

Curtis swiped his tongue over a molar, a sinking feeling in his gut.

Locking eyes with Leanne’s unimpressed gaze he reluctantly let her insert the digital

thermometer into his ear.

Once she saw the readout-104 degrees Fahrenheit, a full three degrees higher than the old mercury thermometer would show-her suspicion was confirmed.

Why had his fever not broken in three days? Because the thermometer was tampered with.

How could a perfectly good thermometer be off by three whole degrees unless someone messed with it?

Caught red-handed, Curtis leaned back against the couch with a resigned click of his tongue, “Busted.”

Leanne wanted to be mad, but somehow, she wasn’t surprised. Messing around like this was just so… Curtis.

She tapped the thermometer against him, “Enjoy the blacklist.”

Leanne watched as Caleb carried the luggage out.

Curtis put on his jacket, methodically fastening the buttons, his gaze lingering on her.
