I nod, "Yah. He's taking me driving later with Jake." I roll my eyes, "They are so mean to me about my shit-ass driving."
He laughs and kisses my forehead, "You suck, that’s why."
I shove him but he grins harder, "Hey, I watched you take driving lessons in New Mexico. I saw what was happening there. Why do you think I hired Stuart when you moved here? That driver's-ed guy said you had been trying for years and the church finally said no more. You cost a fortune."
I furrow my brow, "Hurtful."
His face softens. He kisses my face again. I climb out of the bed and shrug on my robe. I pass him his. He stands and I trace my fingers along the cross on his left side. I bend forward and gently kiss her name. I walk to the door and offer him my hand. He takes it, kissing it, letting me lead him for a change.
The End
