We leave to enjoy our morning latte and a morning walk and upon our return home our home is cleaned top to bottom, fresh white towels are folded and ready for use, and new linens have been fluffed and our bed remade. Our kitchen is spotless with all the dishes put away and there is a lingering lemon scent throughout the whole home.

On a walk with just Isla and I try on gorgeous lingerie and come home with a black silky piece with gold and black lace around the edges. Later I soak in a warm bath then slip into my feminine and sexy lingerie. He cannot keep his hands off me and I feel unbelievably desired, wanted and sexy.

On a particular Thursday I have an intensive coaching call and it feels so good, so natural to be offering guidance and encouragement. I feel so at ease and energetic while I sit with a latte, my hair curled, and my phone in my hand. We have a follow up the next day and we’re both filled with inspiration and ideas and I walk away with a new way to describe my services. Guidance by Lesley.

The thundershowers and storms continue to rage on and I find so much comfort in them. I draw many baths and soak while reading classic novels. During the day the laundry tumbles and then I set out her tiny white sleepers, little ballet pink socks, and her grey and white onesies. There is something so soft, warming, comforting to see her clothes laying out to dry next to our classically coloured adult clothing.

While ending a luncheon where Isla slept the whole way through he goes to the front of restaurant to pay, and when I look up to see his figure in the distance my breath catches and my heart skips faster. I relish these moments, where I realize that the man who I am so attracted to is my husband with his clean shaven face and stylish hair, the fitted jeans with a knit grey sweater, the dress shoes all paired together with a very stylish navy wool coat with the propped collar.

There are many restful mornings in white sheets followed by buttered toast and cuddles on the couch with Isla. And there are many relaxing evenings after she has gone to bed where him and I sip from wine glasses just enjoying each other’s presence without needing to say a word at all.
