Emmett showed up at Clara’s place, his presence in the tiny room seeming to shrink the space even more.

“When are you moving to my place?”

“Tomorrow”

Clara frowned, “I need some time to pack! I still have time on my lease here and I’ve already paid the rent!”

Emmett plopped down on the sofa, picking up a finance book from the coffee table, “You into this stuff?”

Emmett smirked and responded, “If you’re interested in finance, I could teach you myself” Clara quickly declined, “No, not I can manage on my own! I wouldn’t want to waste your time! Emmett insisted, “You’re my wife, I should be doing this.”
