Chapter 3

Summer turned around with the hands still over her eyes, to face the person, but the hands just moved with her until they finally stopped and then the hands lift off and Summer now in front of the mirror saw in the reflection her image but also the image of her husband standing behind her, she turned round to face him and smiled.

Seth was so happy with what Mr Phillips had said that after he had left the studio along with all his other colleagues, he stopped drawing and left there desks and worked out of the studio and passed the repetition desk and out on to fifth avenue the cold air hid him like nothing else but it was time to go home, but without doing one small visit to a shop that was near the offices and came out with a small bag of stuff and walked to the metro station and caught the train home and walked the rest of the way to their pent house apartment and came in and had a surprise for his wife and put his hands over her eyes.

As Summer smiled at Seth standing behind her, they both smiled and then she hugged him, which led to a passionate kiss and another hug

"Wow I did not think you would finish work early"

"Yeah my boss let me go early as he became less of a scrooge and is embracing the holiday season"

"That's great, I have finished packing for tomorrow" she turned round and pointed out the 3 suitcases put against the bedroom wall

"Okay, we have a lot of stuff" sighing and smiling at the same time

"Well there all the Chrismukkah presents, in there and the clothes"

"That's okay then" They both smiled

"So shall we get dinner then?"

"Yeah"

"I will get my coat"

They got both there coats and walked into the cold New York air, the wind whistled as the fresh snow fell on to the New York pavements, the city looked just out of a fairy tale as the snow came down.

After a short walk in the snow, they arrived at the restaurant for dinner which was comfortable, yet cosy and the sat at there regular table next to the window and watched the snow as it fell, after what seemed ages of deciding the food they wanted to eat they ordered their food, and started to relax, as their order arrived.

The conservation got on to the topic, of the holidays

"So you excited about tomorrow?" Summer asked after a mouthful of spaghetti carbora

"Yeah I am, it will be nice to see the family and share the miracle of Chrismukkah" Seth replied after a sip of red wine

"Good" Summer said then the thought in the back of her head about the package in the suitcase, what if Seth found it before they got to Berkeley, what would be his reaction and then summer remembered what had last time. Breaking big news to Seth with out him laughing or pulling a joke was going to be hard, she thought how to tell him that this time it was for real.

It was getting late by the time they had finished dinner and walked home in the fresh layer of snow that had fallen, without falling flat on their faces they arrived at their penthouse, and got ready for bed, all night Summer still had the thoughts of Seth reaction through her sleep.
