Melissa walked over, pulled back the covers, and snuggled into his arms. Looking down at her, he asked softly, "You still holding onto this. Are you thinking about taking the offer?"

She quipped, "Yeah, I'm all in!"

He kissed her and inquired, "What about us and our little one if you leave?"

She just smiled and said nothing.

After a moment of silence, Marcus suddenly spoke up again. “Hey, don't stress. If you want to take it, go for it! Bring some pals along. I'll fly out every weekend to see you. And when you're ready to quit, we'll tie the knot."
