Thank goodness for that.

[And thank goodness for her seeming more relaxed and comfortable, mostly.]

[ He usually does make her more relaxed and comfortable.... even when she has to calm him down. ]

Let's head out soon, okay? I want to put the kids to bed.

[Gosh his wife has weird taste in men.]

Whenever you're ready. Car's just around the corner.

[Good taste in eager beavers, though.]

[ Listen, she loves a project!! ]

I think I've had enough small talk for tonight. Let me just say good night to the host.

[ He can just stand next to her and hold her hand while she does so. ]

[midship]

Hm.

[He can absolutely just drift along beside her, holding her hand and being tall. Hopefully he can also pull their joined hands to his lips along the way, just to be clear.

And maybe just a little to be in love.]

[ She says her goodbyes quickly enough, and she's actively beaming once he kisses her hand. How dare anyone not notice how cute her husband is?

She murmurs to him as they make their early exit- ] That was pretty hot.

[ Is she joking??? Is she serious??? Only she knows! ]

[midship]

--was it?

[But will she tell him with her words because if he has to guess he'll almost certainly be wrong??]

[veryfond]

I don't know. It just feels really nice. To be appreciated.

[ She's just very happy to have a husband who enjoys her company, is all. ]

[It seems like the bare minimum, and yet. Time for a light temple-kiss.]

You're an absolute treasure, hm?

[veryfond]

[ He knows just how to bring that beaming smile out. ]

If you say so.

[midship]

I know so.

[But, more importantly:]

Home?

[veryfond]

Home. I think there are some kids who will be very happy to see us.

[ But she still gives him one final kiss before getting into the car. ]
