Vivien turned left towards the spare bedroom, the lounge, and the master bathroom. "I feel I should carry you across the threshold in such a momentous occasion as this. Doing anything else would diminish the importance of this occasion. You're staying over for the first time and you're getting into my bedroom and my pants for the first time. Do you mind?"

"I would have been disappointed if you hadn't suggested carrying me across the threshold. You always were a genuine romantic in situations like this. I wish my late husband had been as romantic as you are it may have made me more affectionate." Laura said as Vivien bent down to pick Laura up. "Be careful I don't want you to sprain something and I'm not as light as I used to be."

"You are such a tease. You're not heavy at all. I love seeing you so open and free like this. You're never like this in London at the theatre." Vivien said as he picked Laura up with ease and kicked the door of his bedroom open as he walked in. He set her down gently and said, "Well, what do you think?"

Laura surveyed the room carefully. "Just as I thought: it's terribly masculine. We shall have to do something about that. The colour is dark looking. The room feels very you though, it's warm and cozy." She said as she joked with Vivien. They were able to be utterly natural with each other and they were used to each others' sense of humour.

"Why don't we put the bed to good use? You and I have always fit together so well both in personality and especially when we dance we should see if we fit together in other ways as well." Vivien said as he went over and started up his record player and then walked back to Laura, pulled her close and began to dance slowly with her.

"I love dancing with you. It feels so natural. I never felt this way with my late husband. You must be the love of my life because I have never felt this way about anyone in my life." Laura said as she leaned her head on Vivien's chest.
