That was harder than it sounded.
Usually, I told Tyler almost everything.
If I bought him something, I wanted to give it to him immediately.
If I planned something, I nearly ruined it by asking suspicious questions.
This time, I stayed quiet.
That morning, Tyler kissed me goodbye while I was still standing in the kitchen with a mug of coffee in my hand.
“Don’t do anything crazy today,” he said.
I smiled.
“Why would I?”
He narrowed his eyes at me for a second.
That look almost broke me.
Then he laughed, grabbed his bag, and headed out.
“Love you,” he called.
“Love you too.”
The front door shut behind him.
I waited about ten seconds before smiling to myself.
The plan wasn’t complicated. That was what I liked about it.
