After breakfast there wasn't anything much to occupy their time. It was Sunday and neither of them worked on Sunday. So they remained at their table just staring into one another's eyes. He opened his mouth to apologize but she put her finger over his lips and shook her head. Then she told him all was forgotten and forgiven. He just looked at her for a moment in amazement before leaning over the table and whispered something in her ear. Then he kissed her. At first she was too shocked to respond but then her hands found their way into his hair and next thing either of them knew he was leaning her over the counter while untying the laces of her nightgown. He didn't know what he was doing anymore but he found that he didn't care as long as she was right there with him.
