 ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
The delicious aroma was wafting throughout their entire house. Suresh was quite distracted by it and quite tempted to sneak an undecorated gingerbread cookie while Advi wasn’t looking. As it was, he was currently laying out the freshly laundered and ironed Father Christmas suit he had picked up the day before. It was a complete outfit, complete with the beard/moustache combo and the shiny black boots. Yes, he even had the padding for the stomach area. This was a surprise for his little elf - that is, Lakshmi. He could hardly wait to get decked up tomorrow for her!
Suresh had just finished putting aside the costume when he heard footsteps belonging to his wife, obviously. He waited until Advika was directly in front of the bedroom door before pouncing out at her. He aimed to catch her around the waist, while exclaiming, “Got you!” Suresh leaned in to give her a huge kiss on the cheek. “Mmmm! You smell like cookies, dear!” Which, of course, made sense. “Are you off to get that cherub of an offspring of ours?” |
