to the bedroom and quickly put a bra on beneath her pajamas.  She hadn’t taken her make-up off so she quickly wiped the smudges away.  She didn’t want to be caught without her make-up.  She smiled as she walked down the stairs in her pajamas and slippers.
    “Those pajamas fit okay Victoria?”
“Beautiful!”  Amanda chuckled.  She walked in to the kitchen and David turned and smiled.
“I owe you one tub of cream.”  Amanda smiled as he handed her the Irish Coffee.  The girls took their coffee and walked up the stairs.  David and Amanda walked to the lounge and took a seat.
“Ours are real. Theirs aren’t.”  Amanda grinned and nodded.
“You look very smart Mister MacGuire.”
“These shorts are awesome.  Like the golf shirt too.”  Amanda chuckled.
“It is all I could come up with.  Short notice.”  David smiled and sipped.
“Would you like to catch the movie at eight?”
“We could if you would like to.”
“Well why not.”  They both got up and walked up the stairs.  David followed Amanda through to the entertainment room. 
    “Oh wow!”  Amanda chuckled.
“No one sees this room.  This is where I fall asleep on the couch.  Read my book.  And generally lounge.”
“Take a seat Uncle David.”
“I am going to sit down right here.”  He sat down on the couch.  Amanda sat down next to him.  She put her feet up on the coffee table.  David did the same.
“Pass the throw please Nicola.”  Nicola tossed the throw and David caught it above his head.  He chuckled as they opened it and put it over their legs.
“The fireplace keeps it nice and warm but sometimes it gets a little nippy.”
“We are only an hour away but the temperature seems a little different.”
“During the day we are about two degrees higher.  But night time about one less.  So hotter and colder.”  David nodded.
    “Your customer base.”
“Shhhh.”  David grinned and whispered.
“Is where I want it to be.”
“And what about out here?”
“Shhhhhhh!”  David roared with laughter and put his arm around Amanda.
“Will you be quiet over there?”  Victoria roared with laughter.
“The movie is going to start.”
“Going to.”  Amanda chuckled.  The movie started and David felt the weight as Amanda slipped closer and closer in to his arm.  He looked down and smiled.  He moved his body to the corner of the couch and gently pulled Amanda so that her head would be on his chest.  He smiled as she pulled her feet up.  He moved a bit more and she lay on the couch in his arms.  He lifted his feet up and put the throw over the two of them. 
    “Aunty Amanda is fast asleep.”
“I think she tires herself out with everything that she does.”  Nicola nodded.
“Amanda gets up very early.  Even on a weekend.  She has to rehearse every day.  So that her voice is right.  And then she starts work.  Feed all the little animals.  And she doesn’t stop.  Only tomorrow.  Then we have pancakes.  We go for a picnic sometimes.  If Mom and Dad don’t come to visit.  And then we have our afternoon nap.  Every Sunday.”
“Do you always come on a weekend?”
“Always.  Amanda picks me up late on a Friday night.  After work.  And then she takes me to school on a Monday morning.  That is why I have two bedrooms.  At home.  And here.  And I also have lots of clothes here.  Sometimes we go to town on a Sunday.  But always early.  If we need something.”
“And do we need anything?”  Nicola chuckled.
“No not tomorrow.”  David chuckled.
“I am going to pop Amanda in to bed.  Which bedroom is hers?”
“The one at the end next to yours.”
“Night you two.  Don’t be too late.”
“Night Dad.”
“Night Uncle David.”  He smiled as he got up and lifted Amanda in to his arms. 
    He walked down the passage and walked in to her bedroom.  He smiled as he looked at her bed.  The cover was pulled back.  He lay her on the bed and pulled the
