“Now, what shall we do to make you laugh? Certainly not jokes about German sausage. They’re the wurst.”

She raised her head from his shoulder. “That was bad.”

“No, I just said it was the worst.”

Her lips quirked upward. She couldn’t stop them. To cover the movement, she said, “How is it you’re not known to all society for your profound witticisms?”

“This isn’t wit. It’s intentionally poor humor. And I saw you. You nearly smiled. So why don’t I tell you about the time I stayed up all night? I wanted to see where the sun went, but then it dawned on me.”

If the heat of his body weren’t so delicious, she’d have pulled away and crossed her arms. “Really, now.”

“No? Let me think.” He reached behind her for the wine bottle. “Maybe you should have some more. It may help.”

“There isn’t enough wine in the world to drown out such drivel.”

“Methinks the lady doth protest too much. Which reminds me of the time I went to the theater to see a performance on puns. You know.” He winked. “A play on words.”

Her jaw dropped, the line was so awful. At the same time, she expelled a gust of air that some unforgiving soul might mistake for the beginning of a laugh.

An unforgiving soul such as her husband. “Careful there, I nearly had you. Perhaps you don’t actually believe people who indulge in bad puns ought to be banished.”

“From society, perhaps. They’re a danger to themselves.”
