Beth didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Ben had thought of everything. She read through the list he had prepared for Luke on what the boys would need and couldn’t have done it any better. The fact Ben knew all these things took her by surprise. Beth had no idea he was so aware of what she did every day. Judging by the six neatly typed pages, he was.

She couldn’t think of a single thing to add. He had covered every detail from the minute the boys woke to the time they went to bed.

It all seemed so easy. Throw a few things in a bag and just take off. Surely that wasn’t right. Could a mother just leave her children for four days? Was that acceptable behavior? Wouldn’t the boys miss her? Could Luke handle the role she had so much trouble doing herself, even if only for a few days?

Ben was waiting for her to answer. By the way he looked at her and fidgeted with the end of the tablecloth, he clearly wasn’t certain she was going to agree. What a wonderful gift he had prepared for them, one she understood they needed, their marriage needed. She felt nervous. What would they talk about with so much time alone? Would it be awkward silences or stilted conversation, proving beyond a doubt they had lost the magic that had brought them together? Not to mention the fact she didn’t even have any swimwear she wanted to be seen in—or that fitted.

“It appears you’ve thought of everything. I just don’t know. It’s such short notice, Ben. I’ve loads of washing to do. Tomorrow is my grocery shopping day. There isn’t much food in the house—”

“I can shop,” Lucy piped in, cutting Beth off. “You could jot down a list of things for me to pick up. I do know my way around a supermarket, Beth. You don’t have to worry about anything. Don’t forget I’m qualified, trained to get rioters back under control. I think I can look after the boys for a few days. Luke can handle the washing. I’ll have you know your brother-in-law does all those domesticated type jobs at home. He probably didn’t want you to know, but I’ve gotta say, Luke is quite the domestic god these days.”

“Aw! That was our secret, Lucy. My brother will never let me live it down. So I like a clean living environment. What’s the big deal? Beth, Lucy is right, though. Give us a chance to look after the little tackers. The few days will be good for all of us, a chance to really get to know my nephews, for them to see me in a different role, someone they can rely on to look after them,” Luke chimed in, right after his wife’s statement.

What could Beth say? Everything was set, ready for her to take advantage of. A romantic holiday with Ben, the children spending family time with their uncle and aunt. Nothing seemed to be a problem.
