Hi, lovelies. Hope that you are all well.

° Day 7 °

** Linda Pov **

"Were not getting a divorce. It's only for a few weeks, dad"

Days ago, when I return home, unexpectedly. My parents were very surprised to see me.

My father was furious. Jumping to conclusion. My father thought that Andrew had throwned me out of the house.

Without giving an opportunity to explain myself. He had a long talk with Andrew on the phone. I tried to convinced him that it was not a big deal.

Still my father believed that me coming back home was bad news. He thinks that separation can drawn couples apart. While my mother agrees with my marriage counselor ideas. That isolation helps most couples, reconnect.

"I told him to take care of you. Not-" My father says wearily as he massage his neck with his hand.

"Kevin, stop it. They're going to be alright. Andrew is a nice young man. I have faith that they will make it through, alright" My mother went to hugged my father and kisses him tenderly.

I smiled weakly. After all this years. They're still very much in love.

** Andrew Pov **

"have a seat, you might learn a thing or two from us" My brother in law, Ethan says. Gave my sister, Sarah a full smooch causing her to blush and giggle as he now tickled her.

"get a room, guys" I groaned. Really, I don't know what's worst. To witness my sister be all lovey dovey with the opposite sex. Or the fact that I didn't have someone to share me affections with.

"last time, I checked. It was us telling you and Linda to get a room. But you decide to throw a tantrum on her. Now, she's living with her parents as we speak"

My sister, jennifer slaps me from the back of my head. As her husband, Jason and her met us in the living room.

As soon as they heard the news about Linda and I they also decided to stay at my parents house. Because they were confident with their ideas that will help strengthen marriage.

For the pass few days. Sarah, ethan, Jennifer, Jason, my parents and my grandparents.

Well, my grandmother, Martha didn't want anything to do with it.

In fact, she was doing the reverses by trying to set me up with women that she knew well that was also around my age from our church.

I don't know what else I have to do to convince her that I'm still married man and that I was not interested on meeting someone else.

Unlike grandmother, Martha the rest of the family was on a mission to safe my marriage. They put together a teaching class based on marriage.

Each, took turns to give their take on marriage and I had to take notes, literally. They all did Powerpoints of dos, and don'ts. Pros, and cons about marriage. Each day, they had new lessons planned out for me to learn.

Heck, I felt like I was back in college.

"you don't have to hit me everytime I'm in your presence, sister"

"get you use to it" she's still holding up a grudge on what I did to Linda.

"All she wants you to do is to set things right with your wife, my brother" Jason pats my shoulder.

"that's the whole of me being here. At least that's what my marriage counselor advice" I muttered.

I missed her so much that I just want all of this to be over, already.
