"Bossy!" she breathed, her face turning a rosy pink. She wrapped her arms around his neck. "Darling, in all the years I was away, has another woman ever come into this room?"
He flashed a grin that made her want to hit him. "How could there not have been? You know how much charm your man has, don't you?"
"..."
"Really?"
He said with certainty, "As true as can be. See? There's a woman standing right in front of me now, isn't there?"
She laughed. "Hmph, I'm ignoring you now. You're just teasing me."
He quickly grabbed her as she tried to walk away, pulling her flush against him.
"Where do you think you're going, little lady?"
Nora Ainsworth squirmed a little before leaning into his embrace as he held her.
The two of them held each other close.
"What are you doing?"
"What do you think?" He lifted her into his arms. "Let's go to sleep. We can finally be together without a care. I want to sleep in with you."
Nora Ainsworth nodded. "Mhm, I'm tired too."
