Chapter Text
It was 10:15 that night when Ralph and Karen got to their house. The boys were sleeping in the backseat when they pulled into the driveway of their house.
“Already? I didn’t know we were going to be gone this long,” Karen said, giving a yawn.
“If you don’t mind, Karen, I’d be happy to put the boys to bed,” Ralph said.
“Good idea. I’ll save your spot in bed tonight,” Karen said.
“I like the idea. Warm it up,” Ralph told her.
“Okay. I will.”
Karen took the house keys out and unlocked the house and then walked inside and got ready changed into her pajamas. Karen got under the covers and waited for about fifteen to twenty minutes for Ralph to get into bed. She did not mind it if he took a while to get ready for bed.
After Ralph got under the covers that night, he turned the lights out that were by his side of the bed and then he and Karen gave each other a kiss.
“Night,” he told her.
“Night, Ralphie. Tonight was fun. I’m sure Mom enjoyed it.”
“I’m sure she did. I guess the kids had a fun time with Grandma and Grandpa.”
“I’m sure they did. I’ll see you in the morning, Ralphie.”
“See you in the morning, sweetcakes.”
That is when they both fell asleep after hitting the pillow. Karen knew tonight was a fun night for sure.
