EIGHT

Dan and Betsy had another lovely weekend. Past few weeks had dramatically changed their

relationship and had in some ways brought back their younger days. They were once again

enjoying being together, to the extent that sometimes even words were not necessary; their

silence said it all. Earlier, often even their words did not communicate. Neither of them was

willing to talk about the change or its reasons for the fear of breaking this magical spell.

On Sunday evening as they relaxed in the garden with a nightcap in their hand, their eyes

had a unique glint of content, satisfaction and laughter that comes only in the company of a

very dear friend. From Friday evening, they were constantly together doing almost nothing,

except enjoying and basking in each other’s comforting company.

Dan broke the spell, “Hey Bet, I need to get ready for tomorrow. Is it Ok if I leave you

alone for some time? Alternatively, you can join me in the study. You can read something

while I finish my work”

“Go ahead Dan”. Replied Betsy, “I will catch up with my emails and messages.” “See you

soon in the bedroom,” She added with a mischievous smile.

Returning her smile, Dan got up and kissed her cheek gingerly, briefly massaging her back.

He easily lifted her to her feet and they both walked back into the house.
