Wife!

His arms were around me after so many weeks apart.

Sitting on the floor in the hallway, he began removing my outer layers, whispering sweet nothings in my ear the whole time.

Pulling me onto his lap so that my legs encircled his waist, we sat there on the carpet by the front door just wrapped around each other.

‘You’re my lover, my best friend, my wife…’

And the word hung there… frozen for a moment as we both held our breath.
