It was another quiet evening for Bob and Sue.
Sue sat on the sofa knitting while Bob sat nearby in his recliner.
Bob’s laughter broke the silence.
“What’s so funny?”
“What do you mean?”
“You just laughed and I was wondering what you were reading.”
“Reading?”
“Yes,” Sue answered with a soft smile. “You were reading a book.”
“I was?”
“Yes. The one on your lap.”
Bob looked down.
“Oh, of course. I must have fallen asleep or drifted off or something.”
Several minutes later Bob laughed again.
Sue paused and wondered if he was rereading the same page.
