“It really was, I mean how couldn’t it have not been, we spent the day with our daughter then made dinner and sat down as a family and laughed while we ate.” She says.

“How about after we rinse these dishes and load them into the dishwasher that you go bath Angie then read her a bedtime story and I get us some more wine and pick out a movie?”

“That sounds nice, Bette.” She smiles at me.
An hour passes and I’m sat here on the sofa with the movie on pause waiting with two glasses of wine on the table for Tina to appear around the corner.

“She fell right to sleep.”

My head pops up and I see Tina walking towards me.

“She did do a lot of running around in the park today.” I say chuckling.

“She did really enjoy it, she just told me how much fun she had today.”

“I’m glad she did.” I smile. “Here” I say handing her the glass of wine.

“Red wine?”

“Yeah, I found a bottle that we’ve had there for a little while so I decided to crack it open.”

I watch her take a sip and then lick her lips. “It’s very tasty.”

“It is really good wine.” I watch her and smile. “So i hope you like the movie choice.”

“What kind of movie is it?” She asks me.

“Its a romantic comedy.”

“I do love those movies.”

“I know you do, that’s why i picked it.” I say smiling and then click play.

By the end of the movie she’s leaning on my shoulder with her arm wrapped slightly around my stomach.

The movie credits appear and I lean over to flick the lamp on, she moves her body and smiles at me.

“So umm, where are you sleeping tonight?” I ask her.

“Why did I have a feeling you were going to ask that.” She chuckles.

“I’m just curious and all.” I give a soft smile.

“I’m going to sleep in our bed.”

I smile at her.

We lift ourselves up from the sofa and make our way into the bedroom.

“I’ll be back, I’m going to go grab a tank top from the spare room.”

I nod my head and then begin to get undressed and into my pyjama pants and a white tank top.
