Stay Around You Now And Forever

Joe couldn’t hold his tongue.

He had held it for a whole day. When the children were asleep and Terry went to take a bath after, he finally couldn't bear it and pulled Emily out onto the balcony.

But when he pulled her over, Joe still couldn't speak.

"Why hesitate? What do you want to say?" When Emily saw him hesitate to speak, she knew he must have a lot of questions.

"I... I don't know... I mean..."

Joe scratched his head, not knowing where to start.

"Well, you and Terry... When did you get together?"

The time was not at all right!

He didn't believe that Emily would be so easy to change her mind, or that Terry would take advantage of her.

But there were two kids, Chester and Basia... Emily and Terry had only been gone for two years, and their two children were now one and three months old.

Did they really get together as soon as they left?

Wouldn’t it move too fast?

Emily just smiled and didn't answer the question.

The less she said, the more curious he became.

"Did you... before you got here... did you... but it is impossible! Terry's been living with me all this time and hasn't slept outside. You guys don't get that chance..."

"Well, it goes too far." Emily gave him a blank look.

"What is that all about?" Joe actually had a little bold idea in mind, but he was afraid to say it out loud.

"If you're in doubt, why don't you just ask?"

Emily turned and looked out at the sky.
