Nodding and jumping up into Rolf's arms seconds after Aletta had brushed her teeth, she smiled widely and hugged the man tightly. "A shower sounds absolutely lovely. It might just be the thing to take the tension off my shoulders. I'm very sorry, I need to take care of you instead of myself. You need it much more than I do, having your military duty and so on. And trust me, I want nothing more than to see you happy." Aletta said, and that was true. It might just not be all of it, but what she said was certainly the truth. "I'll have to put that ugly shower cap on if we want to be there in time. Can you look through it?" She winked, taking his face in her hands. "Rolf... I know life is being very hard on you, but you need to know, too, that I'll always be yours and our future together looks pretty bright. When you come home, I'll be waiting here for you with supper."
