Three years, it has been three years to the day since I picked up Franky from Wentworth in my black Porsche, and I can honestly say they have been the most wonderful years of my life.
We married on a beautiful beach, just outside of Melbourne almost one year ago, it will be our first anniversary in a weeks' time. I can't believe how fast time has gone in, we are in such a great place right now, I don't think the two of us could be any happier.
As I arrive home later that evening, I enter the house and immediately smell the wonderful aromas coming from the kitchen. Franky must have gotten out of work early today, she is currently working at Legal Aid, as a paralegal but her ambition is to become a Lawyer, she has been taking night classes for the past two years. I, myself no longer work at Wentworth, I decided not long after Franky's release that I would take a job I had been offered as Head of Psychology at Melbourne University, which both Franky and I have agreed has been the best decision. As I walk into our kitchen, I am greeted by my wife wrapping her arms around my waist from behind and planting a sweet, lingering kiss to my neck.
"Hi baby, you're home later than I thought you'd be" said Franky.
"I'm sorry darling, it's a busy time at the University right now with exams, some students need a bit of extra help"
"That's okay, I made your favourite tonight" I move around so I am now facing Franky.
"It smells delicious, this is so perfect to come home to after the long day I've had" I tell Franky as I pull out of her embrace to fetch a bottle of red from the rack, as I pour us both a glass each, I feel Franky's eyes on me.
"Must have been a tough day if you're pouring like that!" she said with a slight chuckle.
"You have no idea" I replied taking a large gulp of my wine.
"I'm going to change out of my work clothes, then we can sit down at the table" I say, heading towards the bedroom, wine in hand.
"Okay Gidge dinner will be on the table when you get back" I hear Franky call after me.
'How did I get so lucky?' I think to myself as I get changed.
