Meeting the husband

The car pulled up outside the house and the two women got out. Matilda looked extremely nervous. Sarah walked around to her, took her hands and kissed her fingers "It's fine. If it helps just think of him like a room mate2 she said and led her inside. Tom appeared in the living room doorway to greet Sarah and was slightly surprised to come face to face with Matilda.

"Oh, hello. I'm guessing you're Matilda?" he said clearly trying to be polite and confident but he clearly felt as awkward as she did.

"Yea, hi, nice to meet you." mumbled Matilda shaking Tom's hand.

Sarah came up to them without a worry in the world "Oh good, you two have met. Did you do those things I asked about?"

Tom had been staring at Matilda blankly until Sarah's question snapped him out of it "Yea, it'll be here in a couple of days."

"So exciting, I'll ask you what you got later. Did you sort out the spare room?"

"Um, yes" Tom was clearly finding it difficult to discuss this in front of Matilda.

"Great because me and Matty are going to need some privacy. Isn't that right?"

Matilda was practically catatonic "What? Oh yes, sorry."

Tom looked startled at Matilda then burst out laughing "Sorry, sorry, I'm not being mean but did you really just apologise? That's strangely considerate of you considering what you are about to do."

Matilda gave a nervous laugh "Yea, I suppose you are right. Sorry."

Sarah laughed this time and embraced Matilda from behind and kissed her cheek "Stop apologising sweetie."

Matilda turned and buried her face in Sarah's neck "I'm so embarrassed."

Tom patted her on the back while Sarah held her "Please don't be" he said "It cut right through the tension. I needed that."

Matilda's crimson face emerged from Sarah's shoulder and Sarah tidied her hair saying "Come on, let's get you away from the embarrassing man. Let's go to my room." She turned to face Tom "Behave yourself" she ordered before taking Matilda by the hand and leading her up the stairs.

"Hang on" called Tom "What do you want to do about dinner?"

"Really?" said Sarah staring daggers at Tom.

Tom held his hands up "Sorry, I'll leave something out for you."
