Ephram had been eyeing his wife all morning, she was just so beautiful. While they were making lunch he kept kissing her neck, then turned her around and kissed her passionately. At first she protested, but then she gave in and kissed him back.

"We cant do this!" she laughed in between kisses as Ephram pinned her against the fridge.

"Why not?" asked Ephram innocently, trying not to smile as Madison wiped her wet hands on his face.

"the kids have only a half day of school today and you have to be to work in about 20 minutes..." she looked at him as if to say, 'I'm right'

Ephram tilted his head as he held onto Madison's waist, "I called out..."

Surprised, Madison then said, "what about the kids, they'll be home in about an hour..."

"Jess decided to take them for a while..."

"What are you saying?" asked Madison slyly as she continued to wipe her wet hands on his shirt now since she was still sort of pinned between him and the fridge.

"What do you think?" he asked as he leaned in closer to her.

Smiling widely now, she said, "I dont know, what am I supposed to think?"

Ephram reached into his backpocket and pulled out two tickets to a concert.

Confused, Madison took them and studied them, "an orchestral concert in tribute to Jeffery Jacob?! Ephram, is this what I think it is?"

"What do you think it is?" he asked

"Stop that!" she laughed then looked at the tickets again.

"It's one of the past dates we went on millions of years ago and I want us to experience it again even if its not exactly the same." he kissed her softly, "now we have to get ready cuz it starts in less than 2 hours."
Madison touched his face, "it doesnt need to be exactly the same, all I need is you and everything else is a bonus."

"I figured, the weather is nice so if we dress casually then we could just walk since the hall is less than a 20 minute walk from us."

They finally made it to the concert hall and Madison was so excited, she and Ephram hadnt been on a 'real date' since their kids were born, "this means so much to me!" she screeched as she pulled on Ephram's arm as they walked in to find their seats. He wrapped an arm around her waist, "you mean so much to me..." he looked at her, "you're so beautiful..."

They found their seats and sat down. Madison noticed the hall was empty, she figured even though it was during the middle of a weekday there would still be people in the hall, but she was wrong and Ephram noticed that she was looking around sort of confused. Just then, Jeffery Jacob came out on stage with a microphone as the orchestra stopped practicing. He waved to Ephram, since he and Madison were in the 4th row. "Hi there kids, nice to see you could join us. Now, this first piece goes out to a very special lady in Ephram Brown's life, one, he says, who has changed his life and has inspired him to do what he loves." and with that, he winked in Madison's direction the signaled for the orchestra to start playing. The piece they played first was the one Ephram had written for Madison over 12 years ago and it brought tears of joy to her eyes as soon as she recognized it. She couldnt help but put an arm around Ephram's neck and pull him to her. She put her head against his, "this is so wonderful!"

Ephram couldnt help but smile, he loved it when his wife was happy.

When that piece ended and a few others were played, Jeffery Jacob spoke again, "I've had the pleasure of knowing Ephram for many years now and I knew he loved his wife but I never realized how much until he called me up and asked if I would be in or around Colorado during a certain time. I told him I would make a special trip from Indiana just for him but he had to tell me what he was planning." he paused and looked at Madison, "he said, 'I want to surprise Madison with something from our past, so it will remind her that we can always act like teenagers'..." he smiled, "now, out of my 30 or so years of being in the music business, which I have lost count, nobody has ever said that to me and I just had to come and participate. After all these years, he is still so much in love with you and its a beautiful thing to see and experience." and with that, he signaled to the orchestra to play one last piece before ending the performance. Madison teared up once again, when she looked at Ephram who was looking at her, she couldnt help but chuckle and wipe away the tears. The harpsichord could be heard in the background and Ephram couldnt help but grab Madison's hand and lead her into the aisle and dance with her.

"This is...this is so romantic" smiled Madison as she wrapped her arms around his neck and whispered in his ear.

As they were walking home arm in arm, it started to lightly rain but they decided to keep walking instead of catching a cab. Just then, as they were about 5 minutes from home, the dark clouds rolled in and the thunder and lightning started, "oh this isnt good!" laughed Ephram as he grabbed his wife's hand so they could start running. It was pouring rain as they ran along, Madison jokingly said as she happily jumped in big puddles, "these aren't just rain drops, they're little missles!" She grabbed Ephram's hand as she continued jumping in puddles as they ran, her hair suctioned to the side of her face, the rain pouring down her face.

As they got to their doorstep, Ephram couldnt help but pull her back into the rain and kiss her. He pressed his body to hers as he kissed her deeply, slipping his tongue into her mouth. The two forgot about everything and were just so immersed in each other when the thunder cracked so loud that it made Madison jump. She laughed as she buried her face into Ephram's neck.
"Lets get inside" he laughed. They hurried inside and started peeling off their wet clothes, leaving a trail behind them, as they made their way upstairs. "I need to take a shower!" chuckled Madison as she rang out her wet hair as she stood in a tanktop and her white slacks. Ephram pulled her close to him and simply said, "I need you..." and proceeded to kiss her once more. He was half expecting her to protest, but she kissed him back eagerly before pushing him on the bed. They hadnt had time to themselves for a long time and they wanted this moment to last.

"I love you..." Ephram whispered breathlessly before falling asleep after their romantic time together.

A few hours later, there were loud footsteps coming up the stairs and muffled laughter, which woke Madison and Ephram up. Just then, their bedroom door opened and their kids filled the room, Shai threw himself on the bed, "Jess is so much fun! She said you guys needed some time togetheu', but...why would you want to sleep all day?!"

Ephram squeezed his wife's hand under the sheets as he smiled at her.

"We went bowling today and can you believe it, Mister Clean beat us!" yelled Riley, "who'da thunk he was good at anything!" and she laughed as Madison grabbed her and pulled her onto the bed, tickling her. Randi asked, "Can Jess take us bowling some other time, we really had fun" she made her way onto her parents bed.
"Anytime, sweetie" smiled Madison, "you know" she said looking around, "all we need now is--"

"Sammy!!" Yelled Shai as he jumped off the bed and tried picking Sammy up to put him on the bed.

"Hey," replied Ephram, "Lets see who can sit still the longest" he smiled tiredly as he saw Riley's face.

"Are you insane?" she asked disgusted, "who does that?! I would rather go watch TV, thanks anyway." and she quickly left the room.

Randi chuckled, "I get it Daddy, you're tired so you want us to leave, we'll see you when you wake up and come downstairs!" and she grabbed her brother by the collar of his shirt and dragged him out of the room, shutting the door behind them.
Ephram turned to his wife and laughed quietly as he kissed her neck, "too bad they didnt take the pig!" and Sammy started oinking impatiently since nobody was paying attention to him. "It's like, the older he gets the more impatient he gets..."

In a little kid voice, Madison replied as she looked at Sammy, "well, he is the wittle piggy of the house ya know!"

"Madison...." Replied Ephram, "if you notice, he practically weighs more than Shai." he laughed, "Maybe if we ignore him long enough he will lay down and fall asleep."

"Could that be considered child abuse?" Madison asked jokingly as she cuddled up to Ephram. The two talked and joked a little while longer before finally kicking Sammy out of their room so they could have just a little bit more alone time together.
