Summary for chapter 4: Helen is in a depressed mood, bob cheers her up.


It was Monday cloudy morning 9:30 am, the kids are at school.

Helen is sitting on the bed, reading a book and she's still has the flu, she sneezed as she kept reading.

She's in a depressed mood because their anniversary is in few days and she thinks she won't feel better in time.

She sighed as she put the book down. Helen heard the door open. It was bob.

" hey honey." Bob said.

"Oh, hey. *Cough cough*" Helen said and sniffled.

Bob gave her a tissue and she blew her nose.

"How are you feeling?" Bob said.

"Not well." Helen replied as she avoided his gaze.

"Helen, is something bothering you?" Bob asked.

Helen nods.

He sat next to her.

"Our anniversary is in few days and I don't think I'll feel better in time." Helen said softly.

"You will get better soon, it'll take a while."Bob reassured her.

"Yeah, but whats great before that? *Achoo*" Helen asked.

Bob took her hands into his.

"What's great before our anniversary is that I can take care of you. Well you will get better but it worth it" bob said.

"You promise?" Helen asked.

Bob cupped Helen's cheek with his hand. "I promise."

She smiled "thanks sweetie." Helen said.

"Your welcome." Bob said.

"Well, there's something to cheer you up," Bob said with a small grin.

"What?" Helen said.

"This." Bob said. He started tickling Helen.

"PLEASE NOHAHAHA!"

Helen was pinned down on the bed as Bob scribbled his fingers onto her torso then her stomach, causing her laugher to increase more.

"STAHAHAHAP HAHAHAHA!" Bob stopped for a second.

"How about right...there."

Bob drilled his fingers into her midriff.

"HAHAHAHAHA"

Bob kept tickling her until he stopped so his wife can catch her breath.

After she caught her breath, she got up look at her husband with a wide smile.

"I thought I can cheer you up with that." Bob said with a wink.

"Yeah I can take it, so thanks." Helen said.

Bob wrapped his arm around her and kissed her on the forehead.

"Your welcome." Bob said.

Few hours later. It was nighttime, Bob gave Helen the nighttime medicine. She drank the medicine and she and Bob settled in.

Helen knew that she will to feel better in time for her and bob's anniversary.
