At 86 and 83, George and Mildred decided their marriage needed a little spark.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve become too predictable,\u201d Mildred announced over breakfast. \u201cEvery night, you watch the news, I do the crossword, and we fall asleep arguing about the thermostat.\u201d<\/p>\n

George lowered his newspaper.<\/p>\n

\u201cWould it help if I watched the news without my shirt?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt would help if you watched it without giving a speech after every headline.\u201d<\/p>\n

They agreed to recreate their honeymoon: a candlelit dinner, romantic music, and a night at the hotel where they\u2019d stayed sixty years earlier.<\/p>\n

At dinner, Mildred reached across the table.<\/p>\n

\u201cRemember how you used to whisper things that made my knees weak?\u201d<\/p>\n

George smiled.<\/p>\n

\u201cYour orthopedic surgeon called.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cRomantic things, George.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOh. You look beautiful tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mildred blushed. \u201cThat\u2019s better.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd this lighting makes it impossible to see the bill.\u201d<\/p>\n

After dinner, they went upstairs to their room.<\/p>\n

Mildred disappeared into the bathroom and emerged wearing the silky nightgown she\u2019d bought for the occasion.<\/p>\n

George stared.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell?\u201d she asked, striking a pose against the doorway.<\/p>\n

\u201cWonderful.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDoes it bring back memories?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes. That\u2019s exactly how you stood on our wedding night.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mildred smiled. \u201cYou remember?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course. Although back then, you weren\u2019t holding on to the doorframe.\u201d<\/p>\n

She tossed a pillow at him.<\/p>\n

\u201cTonight, I want you to treat me like you did when we were newlyweds.\u201d<\/p>\n

George rose slowly, walked over, and kissed her.<\/p>\n

Then he kissed her neck.<\/p>\n

Mildred closed her eyes.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, George\u2026 take your time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am. My left slipper\u2019s caught under the bed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Once freed, he took her hand and led her toward the mattress.<\/p>\n

\u201cWait,\u201d Mildred whispered. \u201cLet me slip into something more comfortable.\u201d<\/p>\n

George watched her reach into her overnight bag.<\/p>\n

Out came her reading glasses, slippers, knee brace, and a small cushion for her lower back.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere,\u201d she said. \u201cNow I\u2019m ready for anything.\u201d<\/p>\n

George switched off the lamp.<\/p>\n

A moment later, Mildred whispered, \u201cDarling, say something bold. Something daring. Something you\u2019ve wanted to say for years.\u201d<\/p>\n

George took a deep breath.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve never liked your sister.\u201d<\/p>\n

The lamp came straight back on.<\/p>\n

\u201cSomething romantic, you fool!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOh.\u201d<\/p>\n

He thought for a moment, then smiled.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re still the only woman who can make my heart race.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mildred softened.<\/p>\n

\u201cReally?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAbsolutely. Yesterday you said you were going upstairs to get a hammer.\u201d<\/p>\n

She laughed, switched the light off again, and snuggled closer.<\/p>\n

For a few minutes, everything was quiet.<\/p>\n

Then George whispered, \u201cMildred?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, sweetheart?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWas it good for you?\u201d<\/p>\n

She lifted her head.<\/p>\n

\u201cGeorge, we haven\u2019t done anything yet.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI know,\u201d he said. \u201cBut I got onto this mattress without pulling a muscle, and I need someone to appreciate it.\u201d<\/strong>\ud83e\udd23<\/span><\/span>\ud83d\ude02<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
