Glades Horne had been waiting at home for quite some time.
He had indeed prepared many ingredients, all necessary for the dishes Julia Bluen wanted to make, and not a single item was missing.
This time, he had prepared the quantities just right. Every item was perfectly measured, and not a single ingredient was missing, much to Julia Bluen's great surprise. She kept saying, "Not bad, you've improved. Truly worthy of being my husband."
Glades Horne laughed, having already tied on an apron before her. When he heard her call him her husband, his heart softened. He walked up behind Julia Bluen and possessively pulled her into his embrace.
