“How did we end up here?” Wayne whispered softly.
“Where else? We are staying home, of course.” Rosalynn glanced at Wayne as the car came to a halt outside a quaint two-story house.
The house didn't look much different except for its fresh, renewed appearance.
“You've had it remodeled?” Wayne stepped out of the car and asked with a hint of amazement in his voice.
“Around these parts, it's custom to spruce up the house when there's a wedding or a big family celebration,” Rosalynn said with a smile, her eyes playfully fixed on Wayne. “I couldn't do you any less, could I?”
A whirlwind of emotions stirred in Wayne’s chest, and he felt his eyes misting over.d2
“What’s the matter...?” His reaction caught Rosalynn off guard.
“Just overwhelmed,” Wayne said, his eyes red but smiling at Rosalynn.
Rosalynn shook her head. “Don't just stand there, help with the luggage and let's get inside!”
Wayne nodded quickly, taking the bags from the driver and following Rosalynn through the gate.
Lights flickered on, and Wayne heard Rosalynn’s cheerful voice ahead, “Grandma, Grandpa, Mom, I’m home!”
He trailed silently behind. He could almost see a younger Rosalynn, surrounded by loving relatives, returning home after playing outside all day.
After a long day of travel, Rosalynn was beat. The moment they got home, she darted for a shower and promptly collapsed onto the bed, fresh and clean.
