She sighed. "It's a long story. I need lots of energy to narrate it to you." She smiled weakly but I knew that we were going to discuss an extremely sensitive topic and I appreciated her effort to keep me at ease …
We ordered food and ate it in silence … it wasn't an uncomfortable silence … but it felt heavy.
“What next?” She looked up, placing her spoon down..
“What do you want to have?”
“Do you need to ask?”
I laughed and ordered double-scoop chocolate ice cream for her. She would die for chocolate.
“I’m impressed Hubby, you are getting to know me pretty well!”
“Who doesn’t love chocolate?” I mimicked her signature statement.
“I don't sound like that!” She pouted. “But seriously; WHO DOESN’T LOVE CHOCOLATE?”
“Sorry to disappoint you … but there are quite a few people who don’t like chocolate …”
“They might be aliens.” she shrugged.
“No! They ARE humans.” (I love taunting her)
She glared at me … I prepared myself for a long lecture about ‘the GREATNESS of Chocolate’ … but my hopes were in vain.
Her anger dissipated as ‘HER LOVE’ appeared in front of her on the table. And for the next 15 minutes I became a mute spectator of her indulgence in ‘a mouth-watering love making with chocolate ice cream’.
“Where to now?” She asked, getting up from her seat.
“Movie?"
She nodded her head excitedly.
