Two Hearts, One Home

 

Nights after dinner would be the best for them boys. Dad would sit them in the front porch and talk of her like they met yesterday.

They would giggle and smile, flattered mum too through the window. 

"It's time to sleep," she would shyly utter in humor, "I also want to hear the story, and know who she is...."
