"Then call me 'hubby,'" Leona Grant coaxed. "Call me that, and I won't leave."
"..." Annabelle still wouldn't say it.
'Still not saying it?'
'Heh.'
Leona Grant pulled his hand away and pretended to leave. "Fine, sleep by yourself then. Goodbye."
Annabelle's heart skipped a beat. She grabbed him and quickly called out, "Hubby..."
A triumphant smile spread across Leona Grant's face. He pressed his advantage. "Say you love me."
"I love you..."
"Say, 'Annabelle Linton will only love Leona Grant for the rest of her life.'"
Annabelle felt like a drowning woman clinging to a piece of driftwood for dear life. She complied with his every demand. "Annabelle Linton will only love Leona Grant for the rest of her life..."
Leona Grant laughed, the smile playing on his lips and illuminating his handsome features as he leaned in to kiss her.
But Annabelle was already drifting off to sleep...
"..."
'Silly girl.'
