Dusk had set on Maplewood Drive. The arrival of dinnertime was
evident by the pots and pans steaming up the kitchen windows.
Captain Curt knocked on the familiar back door. He smiled as his
beloved Dotty peered through the pane. He felt welcomed as his entry
induced a warm hug, which he returned as he nuzzled her
neck. "Hiya. Hmmm. What are you wearing?"
"Do you like it? I borrowed one of Amanda's scents."
"It suits you."
"Thank you! Lee and Amanda are running late, so dinner will be
delayed. I don't think that they would mind if you used their
shower."
"Sounds good, I've been in the hanger all day."
Captain Curt went upstairs, as Jamie was coming down the stairs at a
slow pace. Jamie picked up some place settings on his way to the
dining room but placed a gentle touch to his grandmother's shoulder.
"Eau de deisel again?"
"I'm afraid so!"
