“You were so chubby!” she exclaims with a playful giggle, planting kisses all over my images. “I would have loved you even if you still looked like this.” “Yeah, right.” I roll my eyes with a grin, scratching underneath Lemon’s chin before he pads off to cuddle with Zoha. They’re both watching Animal Planet on the television from the foot of our bed. Alina shoots me a mischievous grin. “Seriously though, your money makes you attractive in my eyes.”
