Diana pushed him aside, avoiding his gaze.
"Why are you so shy? We already have Abby," Brian laughed.
They sat down together on the bed. The silence lingered for a while till Brian started talking again.
"Diana?"
"What?"
"Diana…" Brian said again and leaned his head against Diana's shoulder.
Diana pushed his head away; she wasn't falling for that!
"Brian! Can you mind your behavior?"
"Mind my behavior? Abby calls me Dad. Doesn't that make you my wife? I can lean on my wife's shoulder if I desire." Brian was deliberately trying to provoke her.
"Abby calls you, Dad, so you think you can decide who I should be with?"
Brian brushed her hair from her face in a smooth motion. He looked quite serious as he spoke.
"Diana, I don't know what I was before. But are you willing to be with me now?"
Diana stared back at him.
"You left two years ago. Are you still mad at me?" Brian was frustrated.
