Three Hard Lessons
“Sure, they dominated Dominic’s time, and he hated his shitty office and repetitive work, but it was temporary. We’d be home in four months.
Four more months in Tokyo I could deal with. It was late summer now, and the cherry blossoms were beautiful. Romantic. One of the things I was sure I’d miss when we returned to Chicago.

Her and Logan’s wedding was Saturday, and Dominic had gotten ten days of vacation approved for it.MoreLess
