The shop owner’s face froze for a second as he listened to Daron, his eyes fixed on him in disbelief. A flash of surprise flickered in his gaze. He hadn’t expected the man who’d been so easygoing just moments ago to suddenly shift his attitude.
The shop owner was really happy with how today’s shoot turned out and had planned to post about it on Instagram Story to give the shop a little promo. Now, he was just glad he’d been too busy earlier to actually post anything yet.
“Got it,” the shop owner said quickly.
“Don’t worry, we’re really strict about customer privacy here. If you don’t want it shown, we’ll never post it without your say- so,” he added.
Daron didn’t say another word. He strode out of the photo studio, and when he reached the door, he saw Marina still standing there. He stopped, his voice cold, “Why are you still here?”
Marina caught the irritation in his tone and stepped after him.
She couldn’t help but think Daron’s moods were just too unpredictable. He’d seemed in a good mood just moments ago, and now his expression had completely changed.
The shop owner was clearly intimidated by Daron’s attitude.
Marina followed after him, glanced at him, and reached for his wrist. But just as her hand was about to touch him, Daron suddenly turned around.
He turned to the side and knocked her hand away.
Marina paused, then looked up at him and asked,
“What’s wrong?” she asked.
Daron saw the confusion on her face, a hint of being at a loss in her eyes. His brows knitted, but he swallowed whatever he was about to say.
“It’s nothing,” he said.
“Where’s the paperwork you filled out inside?” he asked, “Give it to me.”
Marina hurriedly dug out the form from her bag and passed it to Daron.
Daron took the form and gave it a quick look.
Marina glanced at him. “What’s wrong? Did I mess something ug
Daron looked over the details. Seeing she’d actually taken the tige to fill it out and hadn’t just scribbles something down he put the form away and said, his voice low. “It’s nothing”
“It’s nothing,” he said.
His anger eased a bit, and he started walking again.
Marina followed after him, trying twice to reach for his arm, burach me he brushed her off. Embarrassed and a little disappointed she just gave up trying altogether.
When they got to the counter, Daron and Marina banded overilir paperwork and I photos to the clerk
The clerk took the stuff and asked. ‘Do you guys have your mage checkup reporte

Marina bit her lip, her heart fluttering with a sweet, tingling sensation she couldn’t quite explain.
She went to get the rest of her tests done.
After her last test, Daron was waiting for her outside the door.
As soon as he saw her, he drew her close in a quick hug.
They sat together on a bench, waiting for the results.
While they were waiting, Marina’s phone rang. It was Kara calling.
Marina was about to get up to answer when Daron caught her hand, speaking in a serious tone.
“Come on, we’re married. What could you possibly need to hide from me?” he said.
Marina shot back, “Girls have their secrets, just like guys do. There are things I talk about with Kara that you wouldn’t get and I’m sure you’ve got stuff with your buddies that you wouldn’t tell me.”
Daron replied bluntly, “Nope.”
“There’s nothing I ever talk about with Zachary or Finn that I wouldn’t want you to know,” he added.
Marina’s grip on her phone tightened.
Daron looked at her and said quietly. “Not going to pick up?”
Marina pressed her lips together and whispered, “But Kara and I have some girl talk. It’s not really something guys should
hear.”
Daron just shrugged and let go of her hand. “Go ahead and answer,” he said.

Marina stood up to take the call. She walked a few steps away, making sure she was out of Daron’s earshot before picking up and pressing the phone to her ear.
Kara’s voice came through, sounding both anxious and a little relieved.
“Marina, I had Finn help out last night. Later, he told me Daron whisked you away, so I thought I’d better not interrupt you two,” Kara said.
Marina replied softly, “I’m fine.”
Kara giggled mischievously, putting on a voice like one of those reepy guys from old movies. “So after he swooped in to save you like a knight in shining armor, did you just throw yourself at him?”
