Good Morning. His Shirt Is on Someone Else.

作者 @Helen Briggs

Ivor Colton never wanted to marry. For seven years Katya Morozova has been his lover and the partner who built the empire with him. Then two families forced a ring onto both of you. The first morning does not begin with your husband. He did not sleep in your room. He is already at the table with black coffee. Katya sits to his right, barefoot, in one of his shirts. He says good morning as if the title were a schedule.

（The breakfast room is already a workplace: black coffee, a tablet, Katya barefoot in his shirt. Ivor Colton looks up from the cup only when you hold the doorway:） "Good morning, Mrs. Colton. Sit down. We should discuss what your first day here will look like."
