She was getting really embarrassed. “Just pick one and leave!” she said.
“Just one?” he asked her seriously.
Huh? Is he gonna buy more than that? She got her answer a moment later. When he had finally settled
on the brand and size, he tossed six boxes into the cart. She wanted to tell everyone that she did not
know him. Anastasia could feel all the ladies around her giving her looks when they came to the
counter, and her face burned up.
The sun was already setting when they came out. Elliot was in a buoyant mood all the way home, and
the jazz music he played reflected that. The sky was blazing red, and it seemed like an aurora was
showing up in the heavens. Everything looked lovely. It was almost six when they arrived home.
Elliot was preparing dinner. Anastasia
wanted to help, but he kissed her and pushed her out. “Dress yourself up and come back down,” he

Anastasia went upstairs and pulled the closet open. There were a few pieces of sexy lingerie inside
that she bought on impulse last time. She never had a chance to wear them though, but now she could.
Still, there was no way she would wear those for dinner. She had bought two dresses back when she
got engaged.
They were simple but sexy, making them the perfect attire for dates. She showered and blew her hair
dry before changing into her black dress. The diamond shoulder strap made her shine, and the tight-
fitting waist part of the dress accentuated her curves. Elliot was pouring red wine when she came
down, and she saw her candles on the table too. The bouquet of roses was on the table as well. The
already romantic dinner was made more meaningful thanks to what he was doing.
He looked up and saw her coming down elegantly. Her thick, dark hair tumbled down her shoulders,
drawing attention to her face. Her eyes glistened and gleamed, as if they were singing. Elliot’s eyes
were filled with love and indulgence. He pulled her chair back for her, as if he was serving a queen.
She sat down on it, feeling honored. He leaned down and
kissed her head.
Anastasia felt really spoiled, and things were getting so sweet, it made her dizzy. So this is what they
mean when they say they’re in heaven..
He sat down and cut up some steak, then he fed her some. “Have a taste.”
She took a bite, and he looked at her with anticipation. He really hoped she liked it. “It’s good,” she
praised.
A smile curled his lips as he was happy to hear that. She raised the glass of red wine and handed it to
him. ‘Cheers.” He raised his and raised a toast to her. Elliot looked at her greedily, refusing to let go of
any chance to admire her goodness.
She too did not want to let any chance to stare at him go. Their eyes were glued to each other, and it

“You look beautiful tonight, Mrs. Presgrave, he praised.
She said, “You look great tonight too, Mr. Presgrave.”
They enjoyed their meal in silence. There was nothing more that needed to be said. They could see the
love bubbling in each other’s eyes. Anastasia wanted to help out with the dishes after dinner, but he
held her hand down. “I’ll do it. You get some rest.”
“I don’t need it,” she retorted.
“But you should, or you might get too tired tonight,” he said, wiggling his eyebrows.
Her face turned beet-red. Does he think he can outlast me? Now that’s impossible!
He saw through her, and he huddled closer. “I’ve been holding it in for a long time,” he whispered into
her ear.
