Three levels of cake stood between Owen and his subtly gloating wife. She didn’t need to be over the top or obvious for him to pick up on the between-the-lines messages she was sending him.
He bristled and nostrils flared but he couldn’t argue. His lips pressed into an annoyed line as he watched Julianna work at adding more cutesy decoration to her cake.
There wasn’t even an occasion.
He stuck his index finger out like a demanding child expecting to be rewarded with sweets though he was being obviously petulant. He waited there with his finger out while he picked up his phone again with the other hand. He let all of Julianna’s commentary go unanswered. He had nothing to say. She had been right. They both knew it.
“Fun concert, eh?” He asked into the phone of his complaining daughter. “Do me a favor and come down stairs. Your mother has baked a cake to welcome your new guard.”
Owen ended the call and let his phone drop to the counter. He stared at his wife with that closed lip expression for half a beat before he spoke.
“You want to congratulate Specialist Weatherfare, or should I?”

Bitch, I'm limited edition.
