The blonde scratched the back of her neck and looked at her husband. He looked as though he had the weight of the world upon his shoulders. And even though she was still smarting, and there was no denying it - she didn't like to see him having a rough time. So, swallowing her pride, or what was left of it, Alix reached out and snaked her arm around his shoulders, and tugged him closer.

[B]"You've been a real git, Josh." [/b]

She admitted, lightly. But Alix was Alix. She had to laugh about things, because if she didn't laugh, she'd cry. Or have a nervous breakdown. Either were a real possibility. The woman internalised like no other. 

[b]"Speaking of which, your children have been a nightmare this evening. Luca had a tantrum because I refused to let him take the Xbox apart to build something new."[/b] Her eyes opened wide in feigned horror. [b]"But, I love you... Although, I probably should make you sweat a little longer."[/b]

And with a delightful smirk, she leaned as though she was about to kiss him - but tilted her head at the last moment to blow an obnoxiously loud raspberry right on his cheek.

[b]Sucker.. [/b]
