“No. It's not that. You know I just miss you throughout the day and a kiss when you come home sets everything right.” It is the truth. The moment he touches me everything is right.
“I tell you what. why don’t we get the kids to this dance, stay for a bit and then we will send them home with one of our parents, and you and I will get some mommy daddy time. Sound good?'' His knuckle brushes my nipple which is still sensitive because I am nursing Lourdes and pregnant.
“Mmmm…” I lean into him and bite his lip.
“Greedy girl. Let’s go so we can get back.” He kisses me once before patting my ass and walking me to the door. The kids are all antsy, excited to get to the Founder's Day dance the town started two years ago. Sitting beside him in the car listening to our babies' cackle and laugh, I feel more than content. I feel complete.
Returning to love was the best decision I ever made.
