| was momentarily distracted by the defined muscles on the back of his upper arms. Alexander was so strong,
much stronger than Ethan. When we were first married, my ex- husband couldn't even liftinto his arms to
carrythrough the door.
| shook my head, angry with myself. Why was | comparing these two men? It wasn't fair to Alexander or to
myself.
Alexander had no idea of the internal struggle | was having inside my head. He grinned and waved his hand in
front of my face. “Hellooo, is anyone in there?” he joked. “Earth to Olivia.”
| blushed and averted my eyes, thankful that Alexander couldnt read my mind.

wasn't the first the was askingthis question. “I'm starving, and from the way your stomach keeps
growling, | can tell that you are too. | was thinking about making a bunch of breakfast food for us. Maybe
pancakes, eggs, bacon, sausage, sourdough toast, and orange juice.” He paused as he began to pace around my

cooking now?”
| met his eyes. “Do | have any other choice?”
“We could order a pizza,” he suggested.
I smiled. “I think I'll take my chance with your cooking.”
“That's what | like to hear,” he said and grabbed a pillow from the other side of the couch.
