‘Did you buy me an iPad?’

‘You always resent it and complain when I buy you expensive Christmas presents,’ my mother says defensively. ‘You can use one of the children’s if you really want.’

‘Would you have bought me an iPad if you had divorced before I had children?’ I ask, which is stupid, because there were no iPads before I had children. Still. I’m starting to feel a little annoyed with my mother.

‘Jane, you have every right to be angry and disappointed, but there is no call to be rude,’ my mother pronounces and huffs out of the room. I stick my tongue out at her back.

No manners. Product of a broken home.

At dinner, Alex asks if I want to talk about the divorce. ‘No,’ I say. ‘No,’ I repeat. ‘Anything but. Do you think Lacey and Clint will actually marry?’ ‘No,’ he says with a laugh. ‘Not if Clint plays things the way he’s been playing them. Why do you ask?’ ‘I’d like Lacey to be happy,’ I say. ‘Lacey’s always happy,’ Alex says. ‘As I’m happy – right now – to be here with you. Without four additional sets of ears. So I can tell you how adorable you look. Without a child making grossed-out puking noises in the background.’

I smile at him.

I love him.

I do not look adorable and I do not want to look adorable.

I want to be told I look hot and fuckable. And I want to be told that he will not leave me after 43 years of marriage, no matter what.

But.

I kiss the knuckles of his hand. And we have a lovely romantic dinner.

And a night without needing to do bedtime for four children. Alex draws me to him and kisses me, gently but thoroughly, as soon as we walk through the front door. ‘I am thrilled to have you all to myself for the entire night,’ he whispers as he kisses my neck and my earlobes. Pulls my breasts out of my dress, my bra.

I wonder if he’ll take me on the workout bench.

He leads me upstairs. Undresses me. Kisses and caresses me. I relax against him, into his curves and angles. I kiss all my favourite spots, and his favourite spots. Nip playfully every once in a while.

‘You’re not as voracious as you were last week,’ he whispers into my ear. ‘I’m glad.’

‘Why? Was I scary?’

‘I was a little scared I would not be able to keep up,’ he says between ear nibbles. ‘Excuse me.’ He kisses his way down my torso to my belly and my pussy.

Matt’s pussy. Christ. Where did that thought come from?

Me. Naturally.
