Nora descended the stairs hand in hand with her husband Ted, after a well-deserved and very thorough spanking, and after showing him her gratitude for his loving care. Those enjoying a pre-dinner libation in the living room included her parents, their friends and honorary family Liz and Gene, her sister Opal and her husband Jerry, and her brother Patrick.
Nobody really made any fuss about Nora’s reappearance: the talk continued, drinks were sipped, nibblies were nibbled. With a pained gasp she couldn’t suppress, Nora resumed her former seat, with Ted beside her. Everyone knew how much Ted cared for her, and would have been aghast if he had let her misbehavior go uncorrected.
“Gouda?” asked Gene, passing a plate.
“Thank you,” Nora replied, and took a sip of her wine.
