My Husband 395

HOW DO WE GET BACK THERE?

Time was moving fast!

Too fast.

One moment, I was strapped to machines, barely able to hold my head up, and now... now I was running. Driving soon. Living again.

Josh had parked a present outside the house-a white, shiny present.

A G-Wagon.

His mouth was slack.

The bag he had been holding hit the floor.

I swallowed.

But I didn't move.

This was Josh. My husband.

Technically, none of this was new

And yet... we never talked about this,

I had seen him walk around the bedroom in his underwear, all smooth muscle and powerful shoulders.

I had even accidentally seen him in the shower. Busy...
