“Indeed I was.” He agreed with her. Thinking of the time when he would get the flashiest present he could find for her. Not because she wanted it, far from it.  But because he could give these gifts in front of guest of media to make him look like a good husband or get good press.<br/><br/><br/>“Honey you never look sexier with those egg noodles in your hair. “ He laughing with her. Happy that she had remember something else from their time together. At least pieces of it. Which gave him hope that she would remember more. Brettly smiled when she said that Alfred love her. The old butler with the British accent adored Miranda ever since they had met. “ Yes he does and yeah he did blame me thanks to you Miss Innocent.” Chuckling as she poked  him in the chest. “Innocent my foot. We both know how innocent you really are” He teased gently as he lightly tickled her side.<br/><br/><br/>Looking in those beautiful blue eyes of hers. God he could get lost in them. He saw the tears welling up inside them. When she had spoke of Marie. “Yes it was quite beautiful service, You did a beautiful eulogy. The staff was there” Over the years the staff of the house had become a family. Even Bettly had come to see them as such. “ She’s here on the grounds  near that cottage that you saw earlier.  Plant her favorite flower there and a bench so you can sit and talked to her.” There was a time that he would have thought the idea of sitting and talking to a stone slab was a silly idea. That was up until his mother died. Now he didn’t think that . Often he would sit at his mother grave and talk with her like she was still around. In his mind and heart she was.<br/><br/><br/>“ Sure no problem. “ Brettly replied simply. Smiling back at her. Then he saw the blush that bloom on her cheek when she asked him to join her in the hot bath. The smile on his face boarded as he heard her say that she would to lean against in the bath and that she didn’t want to be apart from him. “There’s nothing in this world that I would rather do” He was looking forward to feeling her wet naked body against his. Yes he knew that her body wasn’t ready for love making but that didn’t mean he couldn't  enjoy the feel her body next to his.<br/>Shutting off the movie and the TV. Brettly gathered her up and carried her to the bathroom. Yes she could have use the walker near the bed but he love the feel of her in his arms. Carefully he set her feet on the floor. Gently ever so gently he helped out of her clothing. As if she was fine china doll being unwrapped for the first time. He schooled himself not react to her beautiful body. Not a small task. Seeing it been nearly a year since he had seen his wife naked form.<br/><br/><br/>Brettly helped her to the toilet .Turn toward the tub and began to run the water.  So that she could have some privacy. He open the bottle of bubble bath and pour a good amount in. Checked on the water temp to ensure it was to her liking. When he was done, he turn back to see if she was ready. Once she was he lifted her. Placing her into the hot bath.  Quickly he undressed, slipping behind his wife. God she felt great next to him. Harden at feel of his wife wet body next his. Cursing himself, thinking several things to make the problem to go way selecting one and it was fixed. Looping her arms around her, holding her close to him. As if he was afraid  that she might disappear on him. Again.
