"Maxen Victor Eton Sui!" Olivia seethed the moment her feet brushed against the soil, leaving a trail as they touched the earth in a perfect landing thanks to her husband's impeccable skills.

Hearing Olivia call out Maxen's name without pause made his heart ring in his ears in a painful and slow rhythm. 

He would rather jump a thousand feet from the plane again than hear his full name escape Olivia's lips. 

Scratching the skin above his eyebrows, Maxen knew he was in deep trouble. 

Should he say sorry as a response? But that would imply he was guilty. 

Should he ask what he did wrong? But that would irk Olivia more knowing he was clueless to his mistake.

He rummaged through his brain, thinking about which of all the tricks he pulled that made his wife call him by his full name.
