53.Future

"Do you ever think about the future?"

Apollo lifted his head from his work and stared over at Athena. His always bubbly partner was fidgeting with Widget and staring at him expectantly.

Apollo sighed and smiled. "Sometimes. Why?"

Athena laughed. "No reason. Mr. Wright just told me once that, after he lost his license, he started becoming more aware of the oncoming future. It was just wondering if you ever gave it any thought?"

Apollo grinned and filed away his papers. "Nah, I'm more of a here and now type of guy. For instance, it's Mr. Wright's birthday today."

Athena giggled. "Oh yeah? Jeez…he's getting old…"

Apollo smirked at her. "You're no spring chicken yourself!"

Athena puffed out her cheeks and stood. "I'll have you know, I'm only 44! He's pushing his 60's!"

Apollo nodded and gave his wife a kiss. "I know. I love you…"

Athena smiled and the two of them walked, hand-in-hand, from the Justice-Cykes Law Firm. Athena kissed him back. "I love you too! I'll go get the kids and we'll see you at the party."
