Cleo Setori could not be any more pleased with her life. She was married to a businessman, had two dogs named Bella and Rascal, and had a pair of twins. She lived in a four bedroom house with lots of her older furniture from the years she was growing up. Her husband Kyle knew about her secret and he intended to keep it. Cleo's life was great. Most of the time.
"Check the closet!" Cleo yelled to her little six year olds.
"What if there are monsters?" Emily exclaimed. Cleo stomped over to the closet and saw neither Emily or Sarah there. She huffed and walked to their room. They were sitting on the floor playing dolls.
"Your dolls are right there!" Cleo yelled.
"We want the fairy princess doll!" Sarah exclaimed. Cleo stared at the girls in disbelief. They looked back at her, shrugged their shoulders, and continued their doll tea party. Cleo groaned and walked over to the closet. She opened both of the doors and scanned the closet slowly. She saw a stool in the closet and grabbed it. She stood on it and looked for the fairy princess doll. She didn't see the doll but did see one of her older scrapbooks. Cleo pulled it down thinking she knew what it was. She was wrong. It was pictures of Lewis and her. Cleo chuckled and opened the book. She climbed down the stepstool and slowly walked into the living room. She sat on the couch and looked at the book that sent memories right back into her head. One of the pictures was Lewis, Rkki, Emma, and her at the Juice Net Cafe. Another picture was the same except instead of Emma, Bella was there. She remembered going to the animal shelter and naming her dog after a good friend. She named Rascal because of Rikki. Before Cleo got anymore emotional she put the book on the table between the two couches and layed back. Sarah peered her head around the corner and stared at Cleo for a good minute.
"Well..." Sarah said.
"Sarah! The fairy princess is your responsibility! Cleo yelled. Not mine." Sarah huffed and stomped to her room. Cleo groaned and went to the kitchen to start dinner. She pulled out the ingredients for spaghetti and started chopping the tomatoes for the sauce. A few minutes later the door opened.
"I'm home!" A voice yelled. The twins and Cleo knew that voice. It was Kyle. The girls ran to their farther and jumped into his arms. Cleo smiled and hugged him tightly. The girls jumped out of his arms and grinned.
"The food is almost done! Cleo said. She walked into the kitchen and her family followed her. "I got the sauce, parmesan cheese, and meatballs." She added. Her husband nodded and brought plates to the table. The girls climbed onto their chairs and put napkins on their laps. Cleo carried the bowl of spaghetti into the dining room. After everyone was situated they started to eat.
"How was work!" Emily asked.
"Great! Kyle said. "Today the market was up to no good."
"How?" Sarah asked.
"Well I'm a corporate attorney. That means I make sure companies follow the law." Kyle replied. The girls all nodded and kept eating.
"Can we go play dolls?" Emily asked. "Please Mommy!"
"All right!" Cleo said. She smiled and grabbed all the plates. She stood up and walked to the sink. She began to wash the plates and put them in the dishwasher. Kyle walked up behind her and began to help.
"So..." Kyle said. "You were a good looking teen."
"What?!" Cleo exclaimed.
"Your scrapbook." Kyle added.
"Oh! Cleo said. "You saw that. Are you mad about it or something?"
"No. Kyle said. "I just was saying about the boy. Were you dating?"
"You're mad about that boy! Cleo yelled. "Well he's overseas! Cleo stomped out of the room. Kyle followed Cleo into the room and saw her sitting on the bed.
"You shouldn't be mad. Kyle said. "I was just going to ask about the boy. Not get mad."
"Why would you ask?" Cleo yelled. "I married you!"
"I didn't know you got stressed so easily." Kyle said with a chuckle. Cleo looked up and glared at him. She walked into the bathroom and slammed the door behind her. Kyle frowned and walked away. He went into the twins bedroom and smiled at them.
"Girls, it's bedtime." Kyle said. The girls cleaned up and climbed onto their bunks. Kyle kissed them goodnight and walked out of their room. He sat outside the bathroom door and sighed.
"Cleo, I had a poor choice of words. Kyle began. "I ask that you forgive me and that we can move on with our lives. I'm sorry. I'll be in the bedroom if you need anything." Kyle walked to their bedroom and got changed into his night clothes. He layed down and huffed. Around midnight Cleo returned to their room and layed down. She smiled knowing that tomorrow would be a new day. She could tell Kyle sorry and they could be happy. It was going to be a long night waiting for tomorrow.
