Chris shut the door behind Melinda. But before he could answer he heard his dad call from upstairs to him.

"Who was it Chris?" Charlie asked.

"Melinda." He called back.

"Oh alright." He said. But thought it best not to head down yet, they should probably have some time alone.

"They will be down soon. I promise." He said to her and smiled. "Umm I've been good." He said taking Mel's hand. "Oh thanks for the ointment thing it really helped. So how are you?" He asked.
