Jane didn't know how long she and Matt lay exhausted in front of the licking fireplace before the figures in the room began to move again. One by one they seemed to be taking turns to use the shower, and someone turned on the radio. She looked up to see Larry Leyton pouring another drink. He offered some to Mona but she waved him away, wagging her head sleepily.
Jane closed her eyes, Matt was dozing against her naked back, and she wanted to enjoy this moment to the fullest because it might be the last. God knows what her husband would think of her now!
'You've certainly changed,' he whispered unexpectedly.
'So have you,' she replied.
'Come on, you guys,' Mona was saying, 'didn't I tell you that a swap was like a shot in the arm?'
Jane and Matt smiled at each other wordlessly, knowing she was right.
