"So much to do!" Simon said as he looked around the house. "Golly, my husband will be here any moment now, I need to get this place tidied up!"

He looked around, his steps measured and graceful in high heels and he saw what it was he was looking for, a duster. He took and and with experienced motions gave the first floor a good dusting, soft feminine hands carefully expertly moving objects as needed, the skirt swaying and flowing with each step or motion.

Satisfied it looked okay, he looked at the floor, examining it for any excess dust or dirt. No, it would do for right now, but tomorrow he must attend to it, he decided.

He was about to see if anything else needed to be done but the door opening shifted his focus. In came a tall, fit figure dressed in a stunning charcoal business suit, a silk black tie, and a button-up white dress shirt. A large, masculine hand brushed aside a few strands of long hair and a feminine face smiled.

"How was work?" He asked.

"Good." She said, walking over to a bottle of whiskey, popping it open and pouring a measure into a tumbler glass before pouring a slightly smaller measure into another tumbler glass and handing it to him. "How was your day? Did you get those groceries you were talking about?"

"Yes, and for a good deal!" Simon said, excited. "Did Mr. Nelson give you much of a trouble today?"

"No, thank god!" She said with a laugh, undoing her tie a bit as she sipped on the whiskey. He sat down beside her and sipped his. "I know how hard you said he could be."

"He was used to being a major in Korea. You had to be tough."

"I must have missed that!" She said with a laugh. "I'd say lucky you don't have to now, but you already have."

"It wasn't fun." He said. "But, that was a lifetime and an body ago. Now I never have to worry about that again."

"No, we both don't, I think." She said. "But, come on, let's get up, grab a jacket, we have that new restaurant I want to try."

"Want me to wear something more, uh, formal?"

"No, I think you look good enough!" She laughed, eyeing him up and down. "Come on, up we go!"
