As soon as the kids were off to school, Laura and Simon sat at the table. "How did you sleep?" Laura asked him.
"Well, I fell asleep in a bed and woke up on an air mattress...not the best for my back, but...I had some odd dreams," he commented.
"Oh? Like what?"
"Well, it was something of a blur..." Simon said. "But it isn't like I can't imagine what caused it....we are all in a crazy situation."
"It is just the two of us....We could always go for an encore of last night," Laura said.
Simon looked at her, and suddenly felt rather uncomfortable with the whole idea for some reason. "I think...it's a bit early," he said.
"Come on, Si...I took a sick day, and you have a few days before your next job starts..." she said.
"Is that all you can think about?" He said.
"You didn't complain last night..."
He sighed. "I'm just...not in the mood right now."
"Fine...how about we finish up the rec-room? I bet the kids could use some place to relax after all this. Not to mention us."
He nodded gratefully...hoping the subject of having sex didn't come up for a bit.
