“Thank you.” Owen said pleasantly when Julianna placed a mug in front of him. He immediately brought the steaming beverage to his lips and chanced a sip at it.
Owen seemed to miss the subtle changes in his daughter’s countenance and tone of voice. He also missed look that Julianna gave him. He was smiling wistfully at the mug that his daughter had chosen to use that morning. That silly cat mug. Memories flooded back.
To Owen Celeste sounded acquiescent enough so he nodded. “Good.”
“That mug is ancient.” He said pointing at the cup that Celeste was using and changing the subject from her new guard. He leaned to the side to look at his wife. “I didn’t even know we still had that thing. Did you?” He laughed and shook his head. Owen was already carried away in the story that came to mind about the mug. “You brought that thing into a Central Command strategy meeting. You were a little bit late, remember? And anyway, I was giving a presentation and you walk in with this ridiculous mug. But then you took a drink out of it and I saw that cat and I choked on my coffee because I started laughing while I was drinking. Your face got all red. Darcy about murdered me because the board was there and he thought we were flirting.”
In his retelling of the story, Owen had started chuckling until he was giggling hard enough that he hugged at his stomach with one of his arms and pinched the bridge of his nose with his other hand.
