“Stop worrying yourself over Cross and his activities,” Calisto said, kissing his wife on the top of her head.
Emma grumbled under her breath, but otherwise said nothing.
“And don’t go sticking your nose into it all, either,” he added.
“You’re no fun,” she muttered. “One phone call, Calisto, and we could have him caught like a deer in the headlights.”
Calisto sighed heavily. “Don’t meddle in his affairs.”
“He still talks about her.”
Catherine, she meant.
“Leave it alone,” he said. “Promise me.”
Emma gave her husband a side-long look, before pushing up on her tiptoes and kissing him sweetly. “Fine, for now.”
“Emma—”
“For now, Cal.”
Calisto chose not to argue. He never won when he did. Not with Emma.
Oddly, he was okay with that.
It wasn’t about winning, anyway. Love wasn’t about battles.
Not always.
He figured they had already won more than enough a long time ago.
