Maybe he shouldn't be telling her stories so obviously focused on the two of them as a couple. In the years they were away, one of their main hobbies was sex - the cheapest entertainment around, he'd told her more than once, usually while slipping a hand down her pants.

"And then there was the summer we worked hospitality in the Florida Keys." That had been stupid, ultimately - too small an area, too difficult to make a quick escape - but it had been great while it lasted, and it's not like they didn't survive. "You made so many mojitos that the very mention of mint made you scowl for a while."
