Molly Walker heedlessly dragged him forward, but Michael Gallagher pulled her back: "Molly, you..."
"Don't you take cold showers every night?" Molly teased, glancing at him, "My photo is in your bathroom, the water heater is off, yet you shower every night."

"Michael Gallagher, if you want to join me then be bold about it, we're old married folk, there's no need to be shy..." Molly playfully hooked her arm around his neck, grinning.
There was a hint of jest in her words, she just couldn't stand seeing the look of loss on Michael's face.
