Chapter 2

Adam came riding into the yard and he was all smiles to see his wife once again sitting out and waiting for him with his two daughter that were the light of his life.

Yolanda got up with her daughter in her arms and with the other daughter right on her heels, went to Adam. She hardly waited until he dismounted Sport before she gave him a hug and kiss. "I am so happy you are home on time."

"I wouldn't miss this evening out with my beautiful wife for anything."

"Daddy! Daddy! Pick up, hug, please."

"Adam picked up his three-year-old that was hugging his leg. "And how is my little angel?"

"Da, hug."

"Yes of course I will give you all the hugs that you want." his one-year-old was holding out her arms to her daddy, "How is my little sweet pea?"

"They miss you when you are gone."

"I miss them also. As well as the love of my life. Are you ready to go for dinner?"

"I just have to change my dress while you get cleaned up and changed."

"Who got babysitting duties tonight?"

"I believe everyone is going to take charge of that tonight."

"Well then, it should prove to be an interesting night."

The carriage bearing the happy couple pulled up at the restaurant and Adam stepped down to help his wife out. "Here we are my dear. Let me help you down."

"Thank you Adam. You're my hero."

"Well, I don't know about your hero, but I may just be your loving husband."

"That also, Adam."

Upon entering the cozy restaurant, Adam immediately requested, "A table for two, please."

The maitre d' nodded while smiling and grabbing two menus. "Right this way sir."

"Thank you. My dear, this way,"

"Is this all right, sir?" The host gestured to a secluded table with a flourish of his hand.

"Yes, thank you."

"What can i get for you to drink?"

"I believe a nice bottle of your best wine would be in order."

"All right, I'll be right back." the man smiled at both of the couple and left to fill the order.

Adam smiled at his wife and took her hand in his. "Darling, what would you like to eat?"

"Adam, why don't you choose. I never know what to order."

"Well, I know you like roast beef and steak so how about I order a steak and get you a roast beef dinner. If you would like some of my steak then, you can have some."

"That sounds good. Thank you, Adam."

"The maitre d' arrived back at their table with the wine. "Here you go, sir. And what would you like to eat?"

"I will have a steak and my wife will have a roast beef dinner."

"All right. Thank you, it shouldn't be too long."

"That's fine."

After their dinner was over, Adam took his wife to a dance that had just started at the town hall. Afterwards, he took her to the nicest hotel in town for the night.

"Here we go, darling. Wait just a minute," Adam picked her up and carried her into the room. "Just like the night we were married."

"Adam! You are such a romantic."

"Well, thank you my darling. Now comes the best part of our night. May I help you out of that beautiful dress?"

"Yes, you certainly may."

Off came the dress and then came Adam's clothes and their night began. After making love, they lay in each others arms and cuddled for awhile and then fell asleep that way.

The next morning it was breakfast and then some shopping and time to head home to their daughters.

"Thank you, Adam."

"For what?"

"For yesterday, and last night. It was wonderful."

"You are more than welcome, my love. It was wonderful."

"I do miss the girls."

"Yes, as I do. They seem to brighten up my day."

"You just miss spoiling them."

"I don't spoil them."

"No, of course not."
