Jasper and Ellie had their late lunch in silence.
Each of them was in their own thoughts, and it was not an uncomfortable silence.
After food, they cleaned up together, kept the leftovers in the fridge, rinsed used dishes and placed them in the dishwasher.
Ellie was surprised that they didn't bump into each other. Not even once. Somehow, the whole experience was without any words spoken, yet they exactly knew how to move and what to do in order to accomplish the tasks like they did it many times before. And that was strange because it's the first time they did it.
"Would you like another glass of wine, or do you prefer something else to drink?", that was the first thing Jasper asked after a long silence.
"Wine is fine. I promise not to throw pillows at you."
Jasper paused and raised an eyebrow. "I am not the one to shy away from a good pillow fight."
