"I'm not going to hit you. I'm just punishing you by making you give up your spot tonight so I can sleep with our son. I need to educate our son properly," Julia said with a sly smile.
Glades pulled her up to sit. His large hand still around her shoulder, he encircled her in his embrace.
"You should shave. It's prickly," Julia said as she sat up and reached for his chin.
Glades Horne touched his chin. Hmm, I haven't shaved for two days, and the stubble has really grown.
"As you wish, my dear wife."
"Corny."
"No one else is around. A little corniness adds to the affection."
"When no one else is around, you are not Glades Horne."
"Then who am I?"
"A slick, smooth-talker, like a rogue."
"HEH HEH, I only cling to you, cling to you for life."
"I don't know who you learned it from."
"There's no need to learn. When you're with the woman you love most, you can say anything."
The long-absent, quirky conversation echoed in the room.
「Outside.」
