room,” Cynthia said. “You want me to tell him to come back later?” she asked. Desiree shook her head.
    “ It’s okay. I think it’s time we talked. Mommy thinks I need to approach the situation from his point of view,” she said. Cynthia looked at her.
    “ What?” she asked. Desiree smiled and shook her head.
    “ Never mind. Just tell him I’ll be out as soon as I freshen up,” she said.
    “ Fine. And leave the crazy talk in here. I don’t think any of us has enough money to set you up in some home,” Cynthia said before she left the room.
    Desiree smiled and got out of bed. She walked to the bathroom and brushed her teeth and then washed her face. She then pinned her hair up and changed out of the dress she had on earlier.
    “That’s what you get for sleeping in a bra,” she thought when she saw the reddened bra line when she stripped down. She put on a pair of sweat pants and a t-shirt and then walked out of her bedroom. She could feel her heart beating hard as she made her way down the hallway towards the living room. She had to pick her words carefully. The last thing she wanted was to have a repeat of what had happened the previous day.
    When she got to the living room, she looked at Taylor who looked perfect as usual in a pair of blue jeans and a grey button down pin striped shirt. Cynthia excused herself and left the two standing in the middle of the room looking at each other. Taylor had the shopping bags from the store at the mall in one hand.
    “I brought you your stuff,” he said softly. Desiree smiled weakly at him.
    “ Thanks,” she said in a small voice, practically a whisper.
    “ Please Dee…sit. We need to talk,” he said. She took a deep breath and sat down as Taylor placed the bag on the coffee table and then did the same. “About snapping yesterday, I am sorry,” he started. She looked at him and nodded.
    “ It’s okay,” she said.
    “ No Dee, it’s not okay. I snapped at you, I should never do that. I don’t want to be one of those men who do not appreciate their women. You mean the world to me and I need you to know that,” he said as he looked into her eyes.
    “ I do, Ericson,” she said as she gave him another weak smile.
    “ And about the whole….thing…it’s just that, I would like to do this for you every chance I get,” he said.
    “ And I get it. I totally and absolutely get it, Ericson, but you also need to know one thing. I am in your life to stay. I am not going anywhere. You have the rest of our lives to spoil me but we need to know we have the money to spend,” she said.
    “ We will,” Taylor said holding her hands in his. She shook her head and looked at him.
    “ No, not if you begin spending it like this. It is okay to spend a little every so often. Maybe spoil yourself a little but not too much. That is why it is called indulging. You do it once in a long time,” she said. She looked at his hands and then back onto his eyes. “We need to make a plan, for the long haul. Because it is not only about you and me. It’s about what happens to us in the future. The home we are going to have and the kids we are going to raise together. We have to make a plan for all that,” she said. Taylor smiled.
    “ You want kids with me?” he asked.
    “ Of course I do. With my perfect skin and your great features, we are bound to have the most gorgeous kids ever,” she said smiling. Taylor drew little circles at the backs of her hands.
    “ We definitely are,” he said looking at her.
    “ Look, I know that you sometimes think that you are on a lucky streak. You know, getting a high rank in the marines because of how good of a shot you were or getting a house when you least expected it. But sometimes that luck runs out and you wonder what happened,” she said. “I just don’t want you to look back a year from now and regret it,” she added.
    “ When did you get so smart?” he asked. Desiree smiled at him.
    “ I have always been smart. You just seem
