here we are

The window was open in the master bedroom because I was applying a second coat of paint to the walls. B was outside smoking standing on the other side of the screen and we were talking about the length of time we would reside at our new residence.

"we are here for at least a year."
"I think we'll be here more than a year"
"I think so too"

Then...
"I wonder what it would take to buy this house"

I didn't even flinch. I told him I had been thinking about that. He had too. It's a good house.

We smiled at each other through the screen.
We are at the same place.
