Quarantine Pet - His Pet

“Mmmm, that was good, sir,” I said, rolling over to be the little spoon. “You know how to celebrate.”

“Get plenty of sleep, my love,” he said. “Because in two months, that’s over.”

We both laughed. Now that we were married and with a kid on the way, our family time was just beginning. With the two of us, we had found hope in each other’s arms. Jack’s former pain had disappeared, and our love for each other grew stronger with each passing day.

“So, you think a small town would be the right move?” I asked in my comfortable position.

“I think so,” he stated. “From what Kelton says, he and the family are very happy in the suburbs.”

“Wouldn’t you miss Manhattan?”

“The only reason I was here was to become successful and meet women,” he admitted. “Now that I’ve met the woman, I’m not sure I need the rest. I mean, we have money. Why not go somewhere that’s more comfortable?”

Although I would miss seeing my cousins regularly, Jack and I eventually did move out to the suburbs of Ohio. We weren’t far from Kelton and could drive for a visit once in a while. Our house was modest in a suburban, middle-class neighborhood with good schools. Jack even got me a white picket fence, just to be corny.

I love that corny man, and I’m never letting him go!
