Tristan tapped her on the head in mock annoyance. "What kind of nonsense are you thinking? How could I ever have a problem with Rory? In fact, I wish she would live here all the time. That way, you could be with me every day..."
Hearing Tristan's words, Mika was suddenly reminded of the night before, and her cheeks flushed against her will. She put on a serious face and let out a couple of coughs. "Ahem, the children are right here. Don't get all handsy with me."
"Yes, my dear wife! We'll just have to wait until tonight, and then..." As he spoke, Tristan gave Mika a suggestive look that let her fill in the blanks.
