January 3rd Rick and Kate arrived back in New York late last night and they were still on Italy time not that in mattered to Annmarie or Alexis who wanted to hear all the details. Kate just quietly sipped her morning coffee smiling not giving out any details.

Alexis stated, "Come on mom-"

Annmarie chimed in with "Give... what did you wear"

"Let's see" Said Kate "Our anniversary dinner was at The Grand Hotel Europa Innsbruck" The one of the things Kate learned from Rick was timing when it came to telling a story so Kate chose that moment to take another sip of her coffee leaving her two daughters hanging as she said the appetizers were "Fine de Claire"

"Oysters..." Said Annmarie "I bet dad choose them"

"No... I did" Kate told them

"I don't believe it," Alexis said speculatively raising her brow looking at Kate

"He ordered the main course" Kate explained softly as she watched the silent communication between Alexis and Annmarie

Kate was holding out and both Alexis and Annmarie knew it, they also knew that Kate was an expert when it came to interrogation tactics. So getting her to brake would not be easy.

"What about dessert" Annmarie asked with a smile.

"Dessert!" Kate states repeating the question "Rick... did we have dessert on new years" Kate gave Rick a wink.

In his soft baritone voice, Rick said, "That depends on your definition"

Annmarie replayed the scene a moment ago asking "Mom... what was that wink about"

"Your mother seduced me... and I enjoyed every minute..." Rick told them.

He pulled up the photo of Kate in her dress on his smart phone. We made love twice that night, once before and once after we said happy New Year! Both girls looked at the photo of Kate in her Dress with a slit in the side panel up to her hip then at her then the Photo again.

"What" Kate said, "I let Nikki out to play, I'm allowed to do that..."

"Kate" Rick said "You are Nikki"

Kissing Rick Kate told him "Don't you forget that"
