Chapter 158

• I made a note to myself to thank Rafael later for keeping the house so clean, among all the other things that I wanted to talk to him about. I was truly grateful to have such a helpful partner, but I haven't been showing him how much it meant to me.
• Thus, I wanted to at least make his favorite food for dinner as a small thank you.
