He walks in through the door after work and can't help but smile. A seventeen year old boy sits studying history with his girlfriend in the living room. Its not all study, he knows, but seeing the contentment on the kids faces is warming.
A fifteen year old girl is in her room with her girlfriends taking pictures of each other, talking about boys at school and who might ask them to the dance on Saturday.
His smile broadens as the woman he loves pulls herself away from her computer and text books to give a hug.
He asks, 'How was school today, beautiful?'
'Not as hard as I thought it would be. Its a small class so we all get the attention we need. How was work?'
'It was a nice day today but its even better coming home to this. Do you have class tonight?'
'Yeah, today is my two class day. One in the afternoon, one in the evening.'
Concern shows on his face. 'You guys need to eat! Let me whip something up before you leave. Shit, we can't have your stomach growling at school.'
She smiles that beautiful smile of hers, 'Thank you.'
'Maybe you can teach me some of the things you're learning sometime?'
She laughs, 'We can teach each other a few things!' With a wink and twinkle in her eye she smiles 'Maybe we'll start tonight.'
He laughs and couldn't be happier. He's wanted this type of stability, this life, this love for so long. His only love doing what she's always wanted. Her kids happy and secure. His heart finally full.
Someday, perhaps.
