“Agriculture,” I explain to him every time as if he’s one of the kids

He always est secret in the world by hearing what it is I do again

“So daddy’s not the only one who gets to ride the tractor,” I tell Juliette and the twins, who are only just old enough to start asking the real curly questions

Pearce had suggested finance, hinting I could even land a good job with a firm he knows…

“I know a guy I could maybe hook you up,” he teased me but told me just as quickly that he fully supported whatever I chose

“But… Agriculture?” he does ask sometimes

Did ask when I first told him about it

“I see some of his curiosity and he admits that’s the truth

“You sure are one fertile valley,” he grins, taking hold ofme in a husky tone that the twins are asleep and the other two are watching a movie

Even with a growing faether, soer and more useful than others

And as busy parents, as well as two people who are still crazy about each other, Pearce and I, take every chance we get to share our love together and in private when everyone else is busy or asleep
