“And no more diapers!” Emily shouted. “Our girl is pretty much potty trained!”
Sasha was almost fully toilet trained. It had been easier than William had thought.
He expected a big hassle but she took to it right away and only wore diapers to bed
in case there was an accident.
“And tonight!” Emily added. “It is so nice eating at a restaurant where the chefs
actually care about what they are making. The only time that happens back home is
if the chef is the owner.”
“I believe that,” William agreed. There were very few fine dining restaurants in
their town that would be consistently good. There was only one restaurant that
Emily would want to go to since she knew that the food would always be up to her
taste.
“We need this, William,” she told her husband, kissing him again. “It’s been so

Emily embraced William in a hug and kissed him again. She let her arms fall down
