Pretty Girl - Maggie Linderman
" Some days I cry, some days I smile. I don't let it show but I've been through some shit "

Magaret's singing carried through the entire house, as she cleaned the house very early that Saturday morning. She was singing softly though, careful not to wake the kids who were still fast asleep even when she went to get their laundry from their rooms. She knew however, that Mrs Jones was already in her study working on her books, but her husband would be getting ready to leave for an impromptu meeting in Florida ,since his flight was in a few hours. She hummed as she scrubbed the floors and was sure not to miss a spot, just how she loved to work.

" Ah, Morning Margaret... " Mrs Jones called and Margaret  almost flew out of her skin in surprise.

" Good Morning honey , you scared me " She said breathlessly holding onto her chest.

" I'm sorry " Mrs Jones chuckled softly.

" I only wanted to remind you to take the girls to the park earlier today, I have to finish my book review quietly " she added going into the kitchen to make herself some coffee.

" Alright then. How did you sleep? " Margaret asked worried, the dark circles around Mrs Jones' eyes prominent since she had no makeup on yet.

"Just fine, Maggie. I got up too early I suppose..." she spoke from a distance, stirring her coffee.

" Just so you know, she turned and tossed all night " Mr Jones  said stepping into the sitting room  and their conversation, dressed in a complete suit and with his briefcase in his right hand.

" I believe your side of the story , Morning dear " Margaret smiled warmly at Mr Jones and took his briefcase so he could sit at the table.

" Morning Maggie, thank you very much " he returned her smile and adjusted in his seat.

" Here's yours darling " Mrs Jones walked in with two cups of steaming coffee and offered him one, he laid a kiss on her cheek before she rose.

" Thank you, beautiful." he beamed at her, and she blushed visibly. Their love had never gone dry since the wedding vows, and they'd made a promise to fall in love with each other every day, and they did just that.

" And the girls? " he asked no one in particular.

"Still fast asleep, they'll have a long day so they'll need it" Mrs Jones answered dropping a plate of freshly made cookies in between them on the dining table.

"I'll be home Sunday afternoon." he informed her, his gaze meeting hers.

"You have to sleep over? I don't know if I can go to bed without you." She confessed almost in a whisper, and he wanted to cradle her in his arms at the vulnerable look in her eyes.

"Have the girls sleep in our bed with you, I'm sorry babe" he squeezed her hand softly in both of his. Margaret had scurried off to the kitchen seeing that the conversation had gotten pretty personal.

" Daddy? " Their eyes both shot towards the sound, to find little Sabrina in her pyjamas on the stairs.

" Yes my princess, come on down " he coerced her, and squeezed his wife's hand a little harder as he heard her sigh.

" Are you going somewhere ?" she rubbed her eyes with her fisted little hands.

" Come here... " he patted his laps and she held out her arms and was pulled onto his laps.
