Chapter 15 - Christmas Morning 2011
‘Oh God!’ Kate lifted her head and turned gently at first to the space beside her where Dan should have been. ‘Fuck, fuck, fuck, it’s real.’ She turned away and cried softly.

Marge sat up in her bed letting the feelings of sadness, regret, anger and rejection envelope her. ‘Happy Christmas’ she said to herself as she surveyed the empty room and wondered where Jeremy had spent the night.

‘Happy Christmas my love.’ Jack leaned over and kissed Rose tenderly, holding it a little longer
than usual.
When he moved away Rose whispered.
‘I wish it could be as it use to be and it would truly be a wonderful Christmas.’
‘I know my love, but let’s do our best for Katie today and try to focus on her pain not our own. It might actually help us aswell.’
‘My wise husband, what would I do without you?’
Rose placed her head on his chest and let it wander to his shoulder over his cotton pyjama top.
‘You’d probably have some hunk half my age running around after you taking my place at the table.’
Tapping his chest lightly Rose smiled affectionately at him,
‘Nobody could take your place anywhere Jack, don’t even kid about that.’
‘Ah you know all the right things to say.’ Jack leaned down to kiss Rose on the lips as his hands reached under her nightgown.
'I think you deserve some special loving for that comment.’
Rose giggled as Jacks hands began to explore.
‘Jack Black you’re incorrigible. Get your hands off me.’
Her feeble attempts to push his hands away made him even more amorous as he laughed joyfully with his wife before kissing her feverently.
‘You know you don’t mean that my love. More importantly I know you don’t mean that so let me show my gratitude for your unabashed love and you can show me yours.’
Rose relaxed into the bed as Jacks kisses weakened her resolve as they always managed to do.
