I laugh, claiming, "They do have clubs in Ireland, ya know."
Her eyes light up. "Like the one in New York?"
I shake my head. "No, not like the one in New York. Not anything like it."
Her face falls. "Okay. Well, even without the club, everything's better there."
I can't help but agree with her.
She further surprises me and says, "New York is much better than Ireland."
I gape at her, still shocked she's staying this.
She squeezes her eyes closed and shakes her head. "I shouldn't say that. Should I? Does that make me a traitor to my country?"
I tease, "Aye. You're officially an Irish traitor."
She tilts her head and slaps my chest with the back of her hand. "Ha-ha. Funny."
"No, you're fine. You're not a traitor. And I'm glad ya like New York. So maybe I should tell ya about the deal I made with my dad before everything happened."
"Oh? Can we move?" she questions with hope in her eyes.
I confess, "I have to tie up loose ends here with my businesses before we can return for good."
Her face falls. "Okay, well, how long is that going to take?"
"I don't know. Maybe a few more months."
She groans. "That's a long time."
"It's really not that long," I state, but I also feel her anxiousness to get back to New York.
Disappointment fills her voice as she asks, "So we can't go back for a few months?"
I shake my head. "No, I didn't say that. We can go back, but only for a visit."
"Yea?"
"Aye."
She chirps, "Okay. Can we go this weekend?"
"Aye. We can go..." I glance at my phone. "I don't know. Probably within the next half hour if ya want."
She beams. "Really?"
"Aye. We can."
"Yay!" She claps and rises. "I'm going to go pack, but I don't need anything, do I, besides my handbag?"
"Take whatever ya want or don't take anything at all." I wiggle my eyebrows at her.
She laughs and then throws her arms around me again. She kisses me. "Thank you. You're the best husband ever. Did I ever tell ya that?"
"You might've told me before, once or twice." I put my hand to my ear. "But you can tell me again."
She grins. "You're the best husband ever."
