Drew was back to the perfect newlywed husband, doting and attentive without a hint of artifice. We spent a lazy day at home, where he focused mostly on Jonathan. They played catch in the back yard while I read a book and caught some sun. It was our last weekend before Elise returned from the East Coast, so we decided to keep it low key. We watched a movie, we played some games. And when we went to bed, Drew was gentle as he touched me, taking his time to kiss me and caress me until I was the one reaching for him. The week ahead of us was jam packed. Jonathan and I were scheduled to head back to FEI, to continue his education with his father’s company. I had my February checkup with my doctor, and true to his word, Drew cleared the afternoon just to be there with me. He asked questions as he stood close to me, my hand in his, the very picture of a loving father and devoted husband. Any outsider would believe that he loved me and our child, and this was one of the most magical times of his life.
