As soon as they closed Timmy’s door, Gavin put his arms around her and pulled her close to him. “You were wonderful with him. I knew you would be.”

“He doesn’t seem to have a behavioral problem,” she said.

“It’s mostly at school that he gets into trouble. He’s active, and hates to sit at a desk for too long. He also has a bit of a temper if the kids aggravate him, but he’s been so much better since I’ve been more attentive to him.

“You see,” he led her to the sofa. “I grew up in an orphanage and was never shown affection, so giving him affection was difficult for me, but I’ve worked hard on it, and it’s made a big difference in our relationship.”

They stood in front of the sofa, and Gavin kissed her passionately. She returned the kiss, putting all her love for him into it. Somehow they ended up lying on the sofa, side by side.

“This can’t be appropriate,” Gavin said. “Maybe we should sit up.”

“Hmm, I rather like it though, Gavin. If it doesn’t tempt you too much, could we stay like this for just a few more minutes?”

“We can, as long as you behave and don’t press too close. I’m still human and I love you to bits, so I don’t fully trust myself.”

“I won’t. I just like being in your arms.”

“Did Timmy pass the test?”

“Hmm…yes,” she said sleepily.

“Are you tired?”

She nodded.

“I’ll call Trina to come and stay with Timmy while I take you to the hotel.”

“All right,” she said.

“I’ll be right back.” He disengaged himself from her arms and ran next door.

Peggy yawned. She didn’t fancy going to a strange hotel room, but she couldn’t very well stay there.

Gavin returned, leading a little lady of about fifty into the sitting room. “Trina, this is my future wife, Peggy. Peggy, this is my neighbor, Trina.”

Trina and Peggy exchanged greetings. Peggy noted that Trina’s eyes were not focused on her, and then she remembered that she was blind.

“Why does she need a hotel, Gavin? She is more than welcome to sleep in Timmy’s room at my house,” Trina offered.

“I’d love that,” Peggy said. “I don’t care much for hotels.”

Gavin walked them both back to Trina’s.

After Gavin had left, Trina showed her to the room Timmy always slept in.

“It’s not fancy, but it’s better than a hotel, and closer to your new home,” Trina said.

“Thank you, Trina.”

“Can I get you tea or anything?” Trina asked.

“No, I’m tired.”

“I’ll leave you to it, then. Goodnight, Peggy.”

“Goodnight and thank you, Trina.”
