The brows on Christian's forehead scrunched together as he looked up and off into space trying to see if the name Nikki Devlin rang a bell, but it didn't.  But there was something else odd in Serena's mannerisms when responding.  She stuttered and didn't seem so sure of the answer she gave.  Christian didn't make a big deal of it, he had no reason to think anything of it, but it was something he noted.  "Uh, yea, I'm not sure I've met her.  The Homeless shelter huh?  Seems like a really caring girl" he smiled, polishing off the last of the wine in his cup, and refilling his glass as the timer to the oven alerted them that the pizza was ready.  Christian threw on a pair of oven hits and set the pizza on top of the stove to cool, while finding two ceramic dinner plates from the cabinet  and setting them on the counter.<br/><br/>"No, nothing planned for tomorrow babe.  Why did you ask?  Did you want to do something?" he paused, curious as to what it was she had in mind.  Too often she had complained they didn't spend enough quality time together, blaming Christian's new job, and the hours he spent at work or working from home on occasion.  The date nights, romantic dinners, walks around the waterfront in D.C. were all distant memories.  If it wasn't their Anniversary, Birthday or Valentine's day, they hardly had a date anymore.  Christian was always apologetic, saying he would make time, but weekend date night plans just never panned out.  Perhaps they could do something tomorrow evening if Serena was suggesting it.<br/><br/>Christian served Serena two slices and himself on plates, and then grabbed the half empty bottle of wine, tucked securely under his armpit and held with his tricep, and led them into the den, where they would enjoy their pizza, wine and Netflix shows.  Christian always let Serena decide on the show, and often would cuddle up next to her, eager for a head rub as the wine slowly consumed his brain giving him a warm, relaxed buzz.  He nuzzled his head against her breast and thought how lucky he was to have her as his wife.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://thumbs.dreamstime.com/z/young-couple-enjoying-red-wine-couch-home-living-room-57351119.jpg)</div></div><br/>
