A Sliver of Intimacy

I trudge up the stairs at the end of the day and find my husband sitting on the bed thoroughly engrossed in a book...or so I think.
At the precise moment when I have removed my daytime clothes and haven't quite put on my pajamas, he looks up with an impish grin and twinkling eyes. "Nice outfit," he comments.
Feigning relief, I reply, "Oh, I'm so glad you still like it....it's getting kind of old you know."
"Wasn't that the whole idea?" he asks. "Growing old together?"
He is back to his book. I am thinking, "Yes, that was the idea. I am so thankful we haven't lost sight of it."
