Lucius smiled at his wife sadly. That was so true and he didn't like to think about it, he could have lost her too as punishment for one reason or another but he didn't voice that fact, he didn't want to guilt her or worry her.
He was actually glad when she changed the subject, it was better not to think about any of that, he thought. It was the past and should stay in the past. Looking at the menue he said, "Perhaps one of the pastas?" he said to himself. "The carbonara, I think" he told his wife finally deciding on that.
