Let's Not Panic

Neil sat up immediately and his eyes were staring back at his wife with a dazed expression. He suddenly recalled what they have been doing a while ago and his expression changed again. 

"Why didn't you say this earlier?" His voice was a little hoarse. A frown appeared on his face when he recalled how his wife had deliberately come into his study and seduced him.

Since she was aware that she was late for more than a week, why didn't she say anything and still come over to seduce him?

"Let's not panic." Edith pulled at his arms. "I might be wrong about this. It could be that I'm a little stressed up after everything that happened these past few weeks."

"Still, we need to be careful."

"I know." Edith tightened her grip on his arms and looked at him with her misty eyes. "But I just wanted to be with you."
