My Husband 379

THE CALL

The morning was perfect. The kind of perfect that made it impossible to think about anything beyond the sun warming my skin, the waves lapping at the shore, and the woman sitting across from me, looking like a damn dream in the soft morning light. Vivien stretched her legs out, toes digging into the sand, her white beach dress slipping off one sun-kissed shoulder. She reached for a piece of mango from my plate, popping it into her mouth with a satisfied hum. "This is heaven," she sighed, tilting her head back.

I grinned, sipping my coffee. "I could get used to this."

"Right? I don't know why we don't live on a beach year-round."

I smirked. "Because I have a job that involves stadiums, and you have a classroom that requires walls and children."

She wrinkled her nose. "Details. Pretty sure I could find a few children here to teach beneath a palm tree."

I laughed, shaking my head, and was just about to suggest we skip snorkeling and head back to the bungalow when Vivien leaned forward, resting her chin on her palm, eyes flicking over me with an amused glint. "You know," she mused, "I still can't believe I got myself a football player."
