Peter and the missus #13

The Photograph

Both of them were not in the mood to cook that night and Peter sat down ordering pizza online. When he was trying to pay, the bank card was not working. He asked the missus to get him his wallet to check a few details.

The missus walked in to the room with a weird expression on her face. She was searching for something in his wallet.

'Where is the photo I gave you?' she asked.

'Oh..' Peter was caught off guard.

'You dont like to keep my photo in your purse, do you?' she continued - the expression changing faster than the speed of light. This was not going to be nice.

'I dont need a photograph, darling!' Peter suddenly said.

'You are here' he said tapping his head. '..and here' he said again tapping his heart. He didn't plan it but the words just flowed beautifully.

The missus was touched. Her expression changed again but this time to a more pleasing smile and he was sure her eyes sparkled for second.

'So, do you want a coffee?' she asked. That was weird because it was a long time since the missus had stopped making him coffee.

'Sure, why not!' he smiled.

Peter sat in silence for a few minutes and breathed a sigh of relief, 'That was close!'. 

'Which photograph was she talking about?' he thought hard for a few seconds.

'Nope, nothing! I have no idea!' he shrugged. He then sat back and relaxed with a proud smile. He was getting better in tackling some tight situations. 

'Certainly much better!', he said patting himself on his back.
