#Chapter54
Quality time
Nora
Amidst the chaos, with the boys having a rash from mango tree sap, Matt and I slipped out of the house, leaving Markus in charge of the boys. In Markus’s words, we suck monkey balls, and he would get even with us. Matt offered to beat Markus’s ass, making Markus concede. It serves Markus right since he likes to open his mouth.
Matt and I walked along the water, holding hands as sand moved between our toes. We get these rare moments together when the boys are busy with their cousins. I treasure them.
/"I miss having time alone with you. We haven’t had quality time together since the boys came,/" Matt said.
/"Someone shouldn’t have forgotten their raincoat on our wedding night. We would have had more time alone./" I snickered.
Matt rolled his eyes. /"Yeah, it wasn’t my brightest idea, but I wanted to enjoy my wife./"
