It was evening when Cassandra got into a warm bed. Horace had been lying there for a while, waiting for Cassandra to lie next to him. They were always waiting for each other anyway, but this time he was deep in thought.
He was lying on his back with his arms behind his head to lean on and the blanket was half on his bare upper body
"penny for your thoughts." Cassandra said as soon as she sat down next to him. She saw it immediately when he was having a problem.
"Well ... today on the training field ..." he started. He hesitated for a moment, searching for the right words. "Yes?" Cassandra asked. She was curious where he was going with the conversation. "I introduced Maddie and Dimon together and there was a ... a little spark between the two of them." Horace turned his head slightly to the right and looked at his wife. Now she was lost in thought.
"What do you mean? ..." she asked after a few seconds. She turned her head to Horace with a questioning look in her eyes. "Well ... they seemed to find each other ... interesting if you know what I mean." Now Cassandra understood what he meant. She silently made an "O" with her mouth. Horace continued. "It is not surprising. They are both young and certainly not unattractive. " Cassandra smiled proudly. "Yes, she has that from her mother!" Horace laughed. "She certainly has!" Cassandra smiled at him. She lay on her back and turned on her side to look at Horace.
"But seriously." He had a concerned father look. "I had never thought about the combination between Maddie and boys." Cassandra nodded. Horace looked at the ceiling as he continued. "I mean she's only nineteen years old. Is that already necessary? " He sighed.
"Hey! We were also nineteen when we got together remember?" Horace looked at her. "Yes, but that was different!" He said. "How?!" Cassandra asked. "Well ..." Horace started again. "We had known each other since we were sixteen and we were always together. And I was your champion! And we knew what we felt for each other. I mean ... Maddie and Dimon only met today! Something like this cannot happen so quickly? However? That's ... that's ... that's! "
Horace had started to speak faster and faster. Horace Honey! Relax okay? Yes, they only met today and yes there was some kind of spark between the two, but that doesn't mean she's already getting married to him! " Horace seemed more calm and reassured. "You're right!" he said. Cassandra laughed. "Look at you ... completely overprotective!" Horace looked at her with one eyebrow raised and a crooked smile on his mouth. "And you wanted to say you don't feel that way!" he said teasingly. Cassandra smiled back. "No! Of course not, that is really something for fathers! " She looked away from Horace. "Cassie?" Horace asked incredulously. "Okay yes ... it's terrifying!" She said and her head shot back at Horace. He laughed. "I knew it!"
Cassandra teased him on the chest. She had a lot of strength for such tender arms. Horace put his arm around her shoulder, and Cassandra put her head on his. So they lay in silence. Both still thinking about Maddie and Dimon.
"But ..." Horace started again. "Dimon is family, right? Then you can't do anything , can you? " Cassandra paused for a moment, then replied. "If it is true love, anything can happen!" She rose slightly and kissed him.
"Good night Honey!" she said, putting her head back on his chest. "Goodnight Sweetheart!" He replied smiling.
"Love you."
"Love you too."
Horace thought about Cassandra's words for a moment. But when he felt her gentle and regular breathing on his chest, he knew exactly what she meant. Everything could happen with true love!
