yes, I liked the paragraphs on the temperature of the tea very much, you have perfectly rendered its state, its disturbance and the search for that inner balance.
I understand what you mean about sex, but I don't think I agree! in any case, they are only characters of a fiction. I don't know if there is a follow-up to this story, but, in my opinion, the husband risks appearing weak and reassured.
I'm happy for your wedding :-))
