He pulls us both to a stop and looks down at me with serious eyes. “You know, baby, if you ever decided you didn’t want to, you don’t have to work.” By the end of the week I’m exhausted from being afraid that I’ll say or do something inappropriate.” I’m just not a great actress, and the whole ‘you’re my boyfriend at home but just my boss at work’ thing is tiresome. “Oh, nothing,” I wave his statement aside. “Probably not something I should admit to my boss, I know, but there it is.” I guess I’m not ready to go back to work tomorrow either.” I shrug. ![]() “We don’t have to head back until this evening if you like.” He kisses my knuckles and smiles at me. “I’m not ready to leave,” I murmur and take a deep breath of salty air.
