“No!” he barked at me, slamming the envelope onto the counter. “No. No fucking way, Maddox. We can’t afford shit like this!”
“Too late. Unlike you, I don’t buy insurance.” The travel company had offered it, and I’d turned it down without a second thought. Whoops.
“Maddox!” he screamed at me. “Why the fuck would you do this?”
“Because I love you and they have a hot tub like we talked about.” I ignored his anger and saw through it, knowing he was happy. I pulled him close. “Happy anniversary, Devon. I love you.”
We were finally taking that trip we once talked about. That one with a hot tub where we got to be all alone and happy and shit. Maybe it was a late honeymoon, or maybe it was just a chance to see some other part of the world. Who knew? All I knew was that Devon wanted to go somewhere, and now we were. Alaska called our names, and if he put up too much of a fight, I’d drag his ass there if I had to.
“Are we fighting about it?” I asked when he said nothing.
His blue eyes burned into my green ones. “We can’t afford this.”
Yeah, well, life wasn’t always fair, but that’s what made it so fucking fun. “I know.”
Inhaling through his nose, Devon said, “I think I’ll skip that part and go straight to hate-fucking you for messing up our finances.” He pulled the towel off my waist, grabbed my throat like he always did, and added, “Fuck knows why I love you, Maddox, but holy shit, I do.”
I told him he’d go to bed happy. Every night for the rest of our shitty lives.
THE FINISH LINE.
