Gale and Craig packed their stuff and left for the life that Craig had been missing and as soon as their flight took off Gale felt an ocean of emotions churn up inside her. She had fallen in love with the simple and peaceful life they had lived at the farm. She was very happy with the amount of time they spent together and how much Craig indulged her in everything he did.

Craig was on call with Noah when he heard a sobbing sound and shifted his focus to the emotional woman sitting beside him who had tears all over her face.

“Hey Noah, I will see you soon then. We have boarded the flight and will soon be in the Capital City.” Craig said and immediately ended his call. He then turned towards Gale and took her in his arms and wiped her tears.

“What’s wrong Darling? Why are you crying so much? We are not abandoning our property and can come back here anytime we wish. We can even make it a point to come here for a vacation once every year and live for some days. As it is, the property will be taken care of by the caretakers and they will even look after the farms. Don’t be so sad, please.” He tried to pacify her and patted her back gently to make her feel better.

Gale knew what he said was true and that the property would always remain for them to return to, but she was feeling a little restless and didn’t know if it was because they were leaving that idyllic life behind or in anticipation of the new conditions they would face with life in the city.

She nodded her head and said, “I know, Craig, this place gave us many beautiful memories and so I didn’t want to leave here, but it is important for you to fulfill your dreams too. I will be fine. I am just having an emotional moment. Do not worry.”

Craig felt a little relieved hearing her and held her tightly in his arms and kissed her on her forehead. “Don’t forget to prepare yourself to be my personal assistant. I would really love to see you working by my side everyday!”

Gale laughed and shook her head at his words. She would need more time over the entire next month because even though the house was completely refurbished, she wanted to buy a few things that suited her taste and preference of living.

“WIll you accompany me for shopping next week? I want to buy some stuff for the house and the kitchen.”

“Yes Ma’am! Your request is my command!” declared Craig like a soldier, making them both laugh loudly, magnifying Gale’s good mood as well.

Their flight took two hours and it was still afternoon. Craig and Gale ordered takeout for lunch and then went to a supermarket to buy ingredients for dinner.

“Why don’t we order food from a restaurant for dinner tonight and you take some rest, Gale? We just landed today and you must be tired. Had I known that you would insist on cooking yourself I wouldn’t have invited anyone for dinner today. Maybe some other day would have been better,” Craig complained

Gale shook her head and said, “No Craig, I am not tired at all and have rested enough since afternoon. Cooking for the four of us is not a hassle at all. I like to cook when we have close friends and family over at our place. It shows our warmth and love towards the guests.”

Craig knew it was not going to do any good how-so-much-ever he urged her. She loved to show her affection through her cooking. All he could do was pick up an apron and start helping her in the kitchen.

Not long after, they were ready with a delicious dinner consisting of three starters and four dishes in the main course. Gale looked at the spread and felt especially happy as it had been a long time since she had prepared so many dishes together.

“Doesn’t it look awesome? I am not bad when it comes to cooking! Right, darling?” She praised herself beaming with joy

Craig smiled at her cute expressions and murmured near her lips planting a kiss on the pink plushies, “You are always awesome, be it in the kitchen or in bed! Can’t wait for the dinner to end and be alone with you, wife!”

He deepened his kiss and held her tightly against himself. Provoked by his sudden seductive kiss Gale also snaked her arms around his waist and held him tightly. They were kissing each other passionately when the doorbell rang and they jolted apart from each other.

“You go and wash your face and come. Let me answer the door. It must be Noah and Luo.” Craig said as he combed his fingers through his hair and pecked her on the forehead.

“Okay!” Gale nodded and ran inside to fix herself up and calm down her raging body.

Craig fixed his hair and his clothes and walked quickly towards the door as the doorbell rang again.

“Coming…” Craig shouted before he opened the door and a huge smile curled up on his lips seeing his dear friend standing there along with Luo and his little munchkin.

He hugged Noah and welcomed them both inside. While their guests settled down on the sofa Craig went in and brought drinks for everyone. Soon Gale came down and greeted them and hugged Luo warmly.

“Hey, this little boy has grown tall and really handsome since we last saw him!” Gale commented when she saw Luo’s adorable son.

Luo smiled and said, “Really? All I know is he has grown more naughty now!”

They all laughed when Luo said that. Gale had a loving smile on her face as she looked at the boy and said, “Children are a blessing for the family. It’s good if he is a little naughty, his tantrums and little acts will make you feel alive when you are in a low mood.”
