If you've been with your husband, fiancé or boyfriend for a while, you may have noticed that he is quite vocal about some things (e.g., sports), but perhaps quite muted about others (e.g., your relationship).

“Oh, Vance,” she moaned.
“And sweet,” he added, tilting her face up for a kiss. “And slightly odd.”
“That's no way to endear yourself to me,” she warned. “I'll wash, you dry.”
“Wash what?”
“The dishes.”
He pulled her closer, wrapping his arms firmly around her waist. “I don't see any dishes. You have wonderful eyes, just like a cocker spaniel.”
“Watch it, Vance,” she said threateningly.
“I like your freckles.” He placed a light kiss on the bridge of her nose. “I've always thought that Becky Thatcher had freckles.”
“You're heading for trouble,” she told him, narrowing her eyes.
“And your dimples,” he continued blithely. “She probably had dimples too, don't you think?”
Shane bit her lips to hold back a smile. “Shut up, Vance.”
