1786. The kitchen air warmed as Alexander pinned his wife to the counter, showering her face with kisses. Her laughter rang out, delighting him as his hand rested on her baby bump. He leaned in for another kiss, only to freeze. Philip and Angelica stood in the doorway, horrified. “Pa! That’s gross!” Philip cried. Angelica scrunched her nose. “Yucky.” Alexander grinned wickedly, ignoring them. He dipped her low, stealing a dramatic kiss. “NOOO!” Philip flopped to the floor. Angelica covered her eyes, screaming about ears and sight.
