Tuesday's evening routine was pretty much the same as the previous evening. Bill came home from work at just after 6 pm, shutting the door behind him with an accidental 'bang'. He grimaced at the bang, hoping that Fleur wasn't asleep as she had taken to doing so of an afternoon while she was alone and had nothing else to do.
Bill put his bag and shoes in the cupboard under the stairs, hung his jacket up on the coat rack and padded into the living room in his socks. He looked around for Fleur, and spotted her sat by the window, reading. She was so engrossed in her book that she didn't hear Bill walk up behind her.
He smiled as he approached his wife and kissed the top of her head when he reached her side. She simply marked the page, closed her book, put it down on the seat beside her, turned to face Bill, and tugged on his shirt gently. He leaned down and kissed Fleur softly on her lips. She smiled and stood up.
Bill pulled Fleur to him, and she stood on her tiptoes, wrapping her arms around his neck. He kissed the tip of her nose and she smiled again. They snuggled for a few moments, before Fleur pulled away and went into the kitchen.
"This is what I've done today…" she spoke softly, bringing a chocolate cake out of the fridge. She knew it was Bill's favourite, and he smiled. "This is for after dinner. I made spaghetti Bolognese, knowing full well you'll have had a long day at work and you'll be very hungry." She explained, her voice still soft, as though she was anxious about something, but Bill didn't press the subject.
"You got that in one, love. It's been quite tiring and I'm starving."
Fleur smiled softly, and they sat down for a while as the spaghetti continued to cook. After about ten minutes, everything was done and Fleur charmed everything to serve itself out, and then it floated gently over to the table. Bill smiled at his wife, and they ate dinner in a comfortable silence.
After dinner was over, they snuggled for a while on the sofa, before retiring to bed. They snuggled in bed, and slowly fell asleep in each others arms.
A/N: So so sorry that I haven't updated in a long time, I've been busy and I haven't had the inspiration to update.
