Not wanting to drag Mariya away from her parents like a damn caveman so I can have her all to myself, we stay for brunch with our parents.

The atmosphere is still a bit tense from the bomb that was dropped, but I have to admit it went a hell of a lot better than I expected.

Uncle Alexei didn't kill me, and I have a chance to make

things work between Mariya and me.

That's all I wanted. Just a chance.

I know the woman is stubborn, but still, I'm disappointed by the strong reaction she had when our parents said we have to give it six months. My eyes rest on Mariya, who's hardly touched the plate of food in front of her. I notice she's not wearing her wedding

ring, and it has a frown darkening my forehead.

Time to go home so we can talk without any interference from our families.

"Thanks for brunch," I say as I rise to my feet. "It's time for us to head home."

Mariya keeps sitting as if she didn't hear what I said.
