Back to Town

There was a long pause between the two of them.  Perhaps his poker face wasn't as good as he believed or maybe she was just better at reading him. "It isn't a big deal really! I know we will be together soon. I might not even take it.  Heck, I figured you would want me to.  Otherwise, I would just have time to plot how I'm going to tease you when I get back.  Plus I need to get in shape, I started a yoga class.  I should be way more flexible, got to make up for all the time you were left with the others! Can't have you wandering off.  Next thing I know you will have another wife!"  Beth was a little too bubbly as she tried to cheer him up.
