Playtime
From the moment Yukiko met upcoming mystery writer Kudou Yuusaku, she sensed that they shared something much deeper than fame, youth, and good looks. This something sparkled in his blue eyes, too brilliant to hide behind his thick-rimmed glasses. Yukiko echoed it in the click of her heels and, over time, grasped it between their interlaced fingers. When she accepted his proposal to spend the rest of their lives as husband and wife, she knew they would get along just fine for this reason.
They both loved to play.
As one year of wedded bliss turned into two, then three, each minute was saturated with their quirky brand of Kudou fun. Paris in winter, Hawaii in summer, raising Shin-chan in their grand old house in Japan, even giving the editors the slip had its special prankster charm for them both.
When the long nights began, it stopped being fun—or funny. It might have been funnier if Yuusaku had, on a lark, suddenly popped up at midnight while she sulked behind a pile of dirty dishes, catching her around the waist just to spook her and snicker as she blushed. After he wobbled upstairs at 3 a.m. for the fifth night in a row, however, Yukiko had a better idea. Maybe . . . it was time for a new game.
As Yuusaku always said when she fretted over her son, it was only a hop, skip, and a jump back to Beika. And who said only children could play hide-and-seek?
