Mum, its alright, we do things because we like to, because you and dad have been great parents over the years and never gave up on us no matter what. ...eff said, If anything, Mum, we should be applauding for you. Oh Jeff, always has a way of words that just seems to make everything alright again. I couldnt help but clap to that. It was just magical. Kaitlyn joined in, giving our mother even more tears of joy. You dont know how this makes me feel, guys, its just so beautiful for a mother to see. It was only a few minutes later when Scar yelled, "capture! Boarding parties!"I turned and ran to the forward hatch, "Sinclair going through!"I did not even slow as I grabbed the swing bar and swung into the tube behind Jasper and Dover. I came out of the tube with a flip up in a somersault. I had my old service laser in my left hand and a fairly new blaster in my right. Dover was down on the deck and Jasper was beside him kneeling.I fired down the corridor with the blaster on auto and put two. “I am so sorry, Marianne. That’s awful.”“Thanks. It happens. Happens to a lot of people. Just another statistic in the long and unmourned history of failed domestic relationships.” I nodded. I didn’t know what to say to her. I didn’t know what her husband could have been thinking. Marianne was a winner: pretty, pleasant to be around, intelligent the list of positive qualities was long.“If there is anything I can do, just say the word,” I said finally. Her turn to nod.“Again, thanks David,” she. I stood up with the dishes on my hands, then I heard laughter from her. Dumbfounded, I stared at her in confusion. She just gave me a wink and pointed at my erected shaft. I laughed embarrassedly and continued to walk away towards the sink. She moved from her seat to help me rinse and place the dishes in the dishwasher. “Sorry,” I said, “I couldn’t hide it even if I wanted to. Not with these sweatpants.” “That’s fine, at least it shows that you’re interested in me,” she replied as she stood up.
