It was late Saturday night, the kids were finally in bed and sound a sleep.
Robert, (my husband) and I had been planning on this evening for days. It's hard to get alone time with three kids in the house but tonight was going to be different. Tonight we were going to enjoy each other no matter what. It had been a tough busy week and we both needed to relax and revel in the attentions of the other.
Rob looked in on our beautiful sleeping children and confirmed each was really sleeping and not just pretending.
I was down stairs in the big bathroom getting things ready. I ran the water and tipped a large amount of the sweetest smelling bath bubbles I could find. And then for good measure I poured just a little bit of essensail lavender oil into the hot steamy water. Oh the scent was wonderful and I inhaled deeply allowing the fragrance to wrap around me like a soft silky scarf.
I heard a soft knock on the bathroom door followed by Robs deep low voice.
"Can I come babe, are you ready?"
That was my Rob, he knew I liked my privacy when in the bathroom and would never enter without knocking first. He didn't have to tonight, but I guess it was just habit.
Ya Hon, I'm ready come in," I invited.
