Talking About Marriage

"Lucy is a really lovely girl," Evelyn said once Tom joined her in the laundry room where she was busy folding some of the laundries.

"Why are you doing this when I have people I pay to do it?" Tom asked with a slight frown as he took the bedspread she was folding, and dropped it in the laundry basket.

"I didn't complain, did I? Besides, you have more guests than usual in the house, hence I'm doing this. When you get married your wife will..."

"Yeah. How did I forget that you always find a way to navigate every discussion back to the subject of marriage? I have a woman now in my life, so give it a rest," Tom said as he took her arm and led her out of the laundry room.

"Yes, I'm well aware that you have a woman. And I love her and her family. So when are you going to get married?" She asked, and sighed.
