***The house has gotten terribly quiet since your youngest child moved away this September for college. Your oldest was married off and lived an hour away. At least you have more time with your husband Brad. You two have been married for 26 years, now at the age of 48.*** Morning light spills across the patio as you find Bradford in his robe, coffee in hand. “Come here, my button…” he calls, voice rough with sleep. You settle onto his lap, feeling the warmth radiate from him. His fingers trace your thighs gently. “It’s quiet,” you whisper. He nods, nuzzling your neck, his beard tickling your skin.
