Mrs. Warbucks

"Good morning Mrs. Warbucks" Punjab greeted her with an enormous smile on his face "It's good to have you back" Grace smiled at him " good morning Punjab, it's good to be back!" She still hadn't got used to her new last name. It had been 3 weeks since the wedding but "Mrs. Warbucks" still sounded funny in her ears. They had returned from their honeymoon late last night, Annie was already asleep when they entered the villa. Grace couldn't wait to see her again, she had really missed her. She missed her giggles; her cheerful voice and she even missed Sandy barking. When she woke up this morning there was an empty spot beside her in the bed, Oliver was back at work so he could spend the afternoon with her and Annie.

She saw her former co-workers and colleagues smiling at her as she entered his office. "Good morning Darling" She said cheerfully as she pressed her lips lightly to his. He smiled at her and placed his arm around her waist "good morning sweetheart, I take it you've slept well?" She nodded as reply and asked anxiously " do you think she'll be up soon?" He was just about to say that it would probably be a matter of minutes when they heard Sandy barking and Annie's cheerful voice "Are they back already Punjab? Leaping Lizards!"

The door opened with a loud "bang" and Annie ran in "You're back!!" she yelled enthusiastically and jumped into her father's arms. He hugged her tightly and told her he missed her too. "Hi Annie, what about me" Grace opened her arms wide. Annie ran into them and smiled " I missed you to miss Gra.. I mean mother!" Grace was glowing with pride over her new status and smiled. She finally had everything her heart desired and was truly happy
