outline of his bulge. “Why are you dressed like a hoe?” I
pouted.
Maddox chuckled. “Why are you over-dressed?”
“Good point,” I said, finally smiling. “I’ll be back.”
Giving my husband a final appreciative glance, I left him

brushing my teeth and washing my face, I took an
impromptu decision to take a quick shower. The kids were
not home; no one was screaming for attention and Iris
wasn’t crying for milk – so I had all the time to take some

were still very much in love. In fact, our love for each other

mature man.

When was the last time we went on a date without
worrying about the kids? I couldn’t even remember.
Maddox was right. We needed some time alone.
“So, what did you get for lunch?” I asked.
