Ethan had to be kidding, right?

I waited for him to smile, for that confused, strange look to be replaced with a teasing one.

I waited for him to tell me that it was a joke, and that he was just messing with me by asking that question when it should have been obvious what we did.

What I'm pretty sure we did.

What my husband's face was insinuating that we didn't do.

It had to be a joke.

One I was willing to forgive if he was willing to admit that he was kidding.

“Ruby? I just asked a question. What did we do last night?”

Damn.

Damnit.

Damnitdamnitdamnit.

Ethan really was asking me what I meant.

He looked rough and smelt like he had bee drinking, which meant that he must have come out here to drink after our lovemaking.

Hence the forgetfulness.

Right.

“I don't know why you are so hesitant to talk to me. I remember getting drunk with Ash and falling asleep. My memory doesn't contain any activity with you so do me a solid and talk to me,”
