Night Discussion

"What have you two been up to?" Peter asks, just as he steps into the kitchen, reclining modishly by the doorpost as he stared lovingly at his wife, before sparing me a curious glance.

Dude was a handsome man and he knew it. Too bad I am not into married people.

I almost baffed at my insane thought. What was propelling this? Whatever it was should continue, it was subduing my timidity, of which I liked, even though I didn't exactly appreciate the checking-out syndrome.

"Girl's stuff." Laura replied, a short smile on her lips, the pride that had clouded her during her husband's defense against his brother, still running in waves around her. She could fly at this moment.

Peter pouted at his wife's comment, and I couldn't help but spurt out a laugh.
