Nora descended the stairs…
Her loved ones stopped chatting and looked up at her and at Ted. Her dad searched her face for any signs that she had been less than perfectly handled; finding none, he gave Ted an approving nod.
“Sounded like a scorcher,” Gene observed.
“Ted is nothing if not thorough,” Nora said with a rueful smile.
“Need an extra cushion?” Patrick asked. He always looked out for his big sister.
“Probably three,” laughed Nora.
“I do hope my daughter thanked you properly,” Nora’s mom said to her son-in-law.
“Oh, yes indeed,” Ted replied. “You taught her very well.”
