"What do you think, Eliza?" Faust asked, stepping inside the enormous house with his wife of three months. They were considering buying it – their first home as a married couple.
"It's beautiful," she replied breathlessly, spinning in place as she stared up at the arched ceiling.
"The perfect place to raise a family," he smiled, wrapping his arms around her waist. She laughed quietly, leaning back into his embrace. "We'll have six children," he continued, leaning his head on hers. "Two boys and four girls. Girls are far better-tempered."
Again she chuckled, turning to half-face him. "And a dog! We must have a dog."
"Yes, adog," he agreed. "Loyal protector of the home."
With a slightly choked voice but an expression of utter bliss on her face, Eliza declared, "Life is going to be our own paradise."
