“Can we, stay there” asked Jean, pointing the Hotel?

‘At the Marriott, for a week?’ John almost burst out loud, but was left unsaid.

His mind had already started a battle of the heart vs the brain. 50^th Anniversary and he had planned his annual day at the beach, the two of them, but here was Jean asking for the first time.

Other than love, she had never asked for anything and he had received 100 times more than what he had ever been able to give.

“Let’s book the suite”, came the reply. A smiling snuggle was the reward.
