A Simple Dream
"Are you happy?" Lynn Sr. asked.
"Yes, I am," Rita said while sipping some coffee. "Are you?'
They were sitting at opposite ends of the sofa, facing each other with their legs outstretched. It was a warm sunny morning, but the air conditioning unit was making them chilly, so they shared a blanket. Rita pulled it up, nearly to her neck, barely giving Lynn enough blanket to cover him waist down. They could've easily turned the AC off, but the thought never crossed their minds. Oh brother, they were perfect for each other.
Some men dream of fame and fortune, but for as long as Lynn could remember, he had dreamed of waking up when he wanted, with nowhere to go, and sharing the morning with the woman he loved.
"Very. Absolutely. I don't think you even understand how happy I am right now." He answered, making his wife laugh. He smiled, sipping his coffee too.
Author's Note: Many can agree these two act irrational at times (Watch "Tripped!" if you don't believe me,) but with having eleven children, they do deserve a break every once in a while.
