He’d always been a creature of habit, Mark. Anna had thought she knew him inside and out. But this morning, as she walked into the living room, she found him sprawled on the couch, a thick book open in his lap. The cover was unfamiliar, covered in elegant Cyrillic script.

"Dobroye utro," he mumbled, barely looking up. Russian? Her jaw dropped. He looked up, a sheepish grin spreading across his face, his eyes crinkling at the corners. The sheer audacity of it, the unexpected delight of it, sent a thrill through her. She felt a tickle in her stomach, a buoyant sensation.

She sank onto the couch beside him, her hand brushing his arm. "So, you're keeping secrets, are you?" A small smile played on her lips. She felt a bubbling happiness well up.
