"How was the trip?" Carlos asked, walking over, his socks making no noise of the floor as he walked.

"Very good!" Tim said with a grin as Carlos got to him and both embraced in a loving hug. "I think you missed me!"

"I think you're right! Miss me?" Carlos asked as he kissed Tim.

"I definitely missed you. I like the outfit, by the way. No jeans?"

"No jeans!" Carlos said with a grin. "I wanted to try to be a bit more feminine. I thought, why not start now?"

"You're really embracing being a woman now, huh?" Tim asked.

"I'm trying. Look, I can't replace Diane, and I'm not going to pretend to, but I can try to be a wife to you in my own way, and admit it, I think it's worked out well so far."

"Yeah, it really has." Tim said. "Far better than I think either of us expected it to. So, now that I'm home, what do you want to do?"

"I'll get my boots on and I'll drive. There's this little restaurant I always used to go to. A hole in the wall but great food. They haven't seen me since everything and I think it's time they see my new husband and me as your new wife! Let's go."
