The Marriage Break

Part ten: A good life

Regina entered the main hall of her father Daniel's arm, where most of the guests were waiting for them. She looked so beautiful and stunning. All the guests were perplexed by such beauty and her father was proud to be by her side. Daniel was proud of his daughter.

Regina and Daniel's party turned out to be an event in high society in New York, as well as a spectacular celebration. The idea of the theme was very good, thanks to the heated and roofed areas, which Sarah hired, located in the gardens of the Thomson mansion.

People laughed, danced, ate and drank to the health of Daniel and Regina. The brunette seemed to be in her element again. Arthur received her with a delicate kiss on the lips and he began dancing with her. Regina's smile dazzled the place. Happiness was finally returning to her life, and despite everything it was largely due to Arthur.

"I know that everyone is going to tell you tonight, but I want to be the first to tell you how beautiful and spectacular you are today and always, Regina Thomson". He looked at her with the intensity of love and passion he felt for her. He squeezed her waist and he pulled her close to his body.

"Thank you!" She couldn't stop blushing. The brunette watched her mother dance with her father, while the older woman watched the younger couple. "My mother doesn't take her eyes off us". She smiled looking at Arthur mischievously.

"Do you think that we should give her something to talk about?" He winked and brought his face close to his wife's

"Why not?" After a few seconds in which she stared at him, she responded totally nervous.

Regina didn't know why she was so nervous in Arthur's arms. For the first time, she felt those tickles in her stomach again, when he tried to seduce her. She was beginning to relax in the presence of her husband, and now she was beginning to respond positively to his compliments and flirting. Right in the middle of the dance floor, she couldn't think of anything but how happy she was at that moment. She had it all, she had a husband who had changed for her, and she had a wonderful son and her family. She shouldn't think of anything else or anyone else, and so she did.

Regina kissed Arthur with the caution that the occasion suggested, and he corresponded to her in the same way. It wasn't a particularly long kiss, on the contrary; but it was definitely an invitation for her husband, an invitation to love her again. They continued to the rhythm of the music looking at each other intensely and smiling at the mutual flirtation.

Suddenly, the orchestra began to play their song. Arthur and Regina had a couple of years without dancing this, without listening to it together. They froze for a few seconds, and then they started laughing and dancing. The brunette hugged her husband and placed her face on his shoulder, closing her eyes in the process.

"Did you tell them to play that song?" Regina spoke without bothering to open her eyes.

"I swear not! It must be something of Sarah, or Rachel, or your parents... Don't you see how they look at us?" He smiles, stroking his wife's back. "By the way, the ring looks wonderful on you".

"Thank you". She smiled at the jewel's comment. "I will not bother to see them. I prefer to feel ourselves here and now". Regina lifted her face from her husband's shoulder and looked at him intensely. "I'm not going to bother myself for anything other than to make us happy, all three". She smiled sweetly and returned to the previous position.

They didn't say anything else, and they finished dancing their song, Try Your Wings by Blossom Dearie. They had danced the same song in view of most of those present, when they got married, and seven years later they repeated that, not for others, but for themselves.

Regina and Arthur shared with the guests, separated by the conversations and those who wanted their attention. They shot each other furtive glances, in the distance, and they smiled at each other. They got back together to eat, dance a song and be with Adam.
