After banking the fire he went upstairs and slipped into a pair of sleep pants. It had been a long day and he looked forward to a quiet evening with a book.
About 15 minutes into reading the doorbell rang and he thought "no one selling anything. Please!"
But he went downstairs.
Opening the door, a smile crossed his lips when he saw who was at the door.
"come in!"
"thanks" she replied as she entered the house.
He motioned to the living room as he went to his wine cabinet. "red or white?"
"whiskey" she said with a twinkle in her eye.
He knew she had a penchant for good scotch so he broke out some 21 year old, just two years younger than her.
The scotch had a beautiful nose to it. Vanilla undertones prevailed. It was very smooth too.
Lys savored the scotch as the two sat quietly for a few minutes.
"how was your day" asked Wil as he finished the scotch in his snifter.
Lys shrugged her shoulders as she said "long week"
Wil had not failed to notice that she wore a sports top and running shorts. It looked like she had been out exercising.
They made small talk as they sat. Wil noticed lys rub her shoulder a few times so asked "shoulder bothering you?"
"yeah. Took a fall on it."
