Merritt and Emma cuddled on one of the sofas in the common area. Behind them, Addison and Jacob sat at the table in the kitchenette sharing reheated Chinese food. Their words were lost to the softly playing Christmas music, but their occasional laughter spoke of their relaxed mood.
Emma nuzzled back into Merritt and kissed his cheek. “I’m so happy.”
“Me, too.”
Merritt tilted his head and kissed Emma’s forehead, then they both relaxed, her body melting into his chest. They sat still, as the music bathed them in warm wishes and good cheer.
Finally Emma sighed. “So, is the trip a ‘meet the parents’ meet the parents or is it just… regular meeting the parents?”
Merritt pulled her tight. “I’d say it’s ‘meet the parents’ meet the parents. Whose memory did you get that from? That’s not an 1881 expression.”
Emma laughed. “I can’t tell. Everything is so connected.”
Merritt understood. The memories were, for the most part, hard to sort out unless it was long and drawn out. But, there were certain memories from the Off-line 1984 Moment that were obvious; so far, that Moment was the only to have married couples.
