Exasperated, I’d given in to some beauty products because I was getting out in nice public places with Asher every day.

But upgrading my phone was getting completely insane.

“You’re not even getting regular updates to that phone anymore,” Asher said calmly as we sat in a restaurant in Billings.

Oh, that was another thing…he hadn’t let me cook dinner since I’d moved into his home.

Surprisingly, Billings had a pretty diverse food scene, so we ended up eating an early dinner out every day.

Yes, I knew that eating out was good for Asher, but I felt like a major slacker.

I was only doing my housekeeping work for a few hours a day.

Spending time with Asher wasn’t work for me.

It was the most fun I’d had in a long time.

We spent our afternoons hanging out in Billings or another place that Asher thought I needed to see, and then he insisted that I work on my art projects when we got home.

We usually got in a ride, which was probably good for both us and the horses.

I’d gotten extremely fond of Sadie.

He usually spent a few hours in his office while I worked on my illustrations.

We were done by early evening, and we spent those hours at leisure.

Asher and I both loved to read, and I hadn’t made even a small dent in his massive library yet.

If we weren’t reading, we could usually find a movie or something on TV that we agreed we wanted to watch.

I really enjoyed our TV nights since I hadn’t had a TV in my apartment.

My life was nearly perfect.

Except for the fact that Asher was determined to spoil me rotten.

“My phone does what I need it to do,” I told him firmly.

Yeah, my cell was old, but I didn’t need anything fancy.

“You need a new laptop, too,” he mentioned nonchalantly as he pushed his empty plate away. “You’re getting offered more projects. The laptop you have is barely functional and it’s so slow that you’re wasting time trying to use it for business.”

I sighed.

He was right, but I could only do so much at one time.

My biggest priority was a new roof for my mother.

The leak in her roof was getting worse, and she couldn’t keep trying to clean up the water when it rained.

“I’ll deal with that as soon as I can,” I told him as I put my utensils on my empty plate.

As usual, dinner had been delicious.

We’d decided on a family restaurant with comfort food today.

He lifted a brow as he looked at me with those intense gray eyes of his. “Exactly when will that be?”
