Her Favourite

Rafael Barba ran a hand through his hair that was still damp from his morning shower, opening the doors of the giant closet in the bedroom. His eyes wandered over the clothes that were neatly hanging next to each other, sorted after colour. With a practiced motion, he choose a grey suit combination and a white shirt with thin grey stripes, placing the items on the bed. Then, he turned towards the tie section of his closet, and hesitated.

Five minutes later, Olivia walked into the room, only wrapped into a big white towel. Seeing her husband stand in front of the closet like a statue wasn't new to her, but the look of slight discomfort on his face in fact was.

"Liv, I need help. I can't decide which tie to wear," Rafael mumbled, still staring at his impressive collection of ties.

Olivia chuckled while she opened her own closet, grabbing a black jeans, teasing him: "That's your problem. You have more clothes than Noah and me together. Just take the blue one with the white dots."

"What?" Rafael cried out, looking at her with outrage. "I wore that one last week!"

She cocked an eyebrow, then he started to chuckle and pulled the blue and white tie from the closet, walking over to kiss her. He knew exactly that this particular tie was her favourite, and he would always wear it for her.
