Our Room

Once again in the kitchen she giggled when she found Viggo on his knees gathering her scattered hairpins. She put them in her pocket and then set about cleaning up the kitchen from lunch so they could start dinner for Sean and Orlando.

“Are they normally gone this long hiking?” She asked.

“No, I don’t imagine they went much further than the tree line until they stopped and went to sleep out there. I know the two of them all too well.” Viggo said as he wiped down the kitchen table.
by wby was standing at the sink rinsing berries when she saw the two of them walking back over the rise. “There they are.”

When they came in the backdoor she already had tea ready. Sean collapsed into a chair and gratefully took a cup.

“So?” Viggo asked.

“It’s beautiful here Viggo…truly, and I am exhausted. I am getting too old to go traipsing about in the woods. I am not like you.” Sean said sitting back and looking at him. He cocked his head to the side and noticed that Viggo’s shirt was not buttoned correctly. Apparently their getting out of the house was a good thing.

Viggo went over to get something out of one of the cabinets and put his arm around Tabby’s waist pulling her to him. She smiled and looked up at him.

Orlando noticed and smiled at Sean waggling his eyebrows. Sean had to suppress a chuckle at that.

“So what have you two been up to?” Orlando asked taking a sip of tea.

“We went to the farmers market and went by to see Kate. When we came back, put everything up and had lunch then we took a nap.” Viggo lied smiling at Tabby.

She tried not to smile back but had difficultly.

“Nap huh? Guess that’s why your shirt is buttoned wrong and her sweater is on inside out?” Sean asked with humor in his voice.

Viggo looked down and groaned and Tabby made a strange sound in her throat and took off her cardigan and turned it correctly. Orlando and Sean chuckled.

“Seems you defidefinitely had a good afternoon.” Orlando said smiling coyly.

“Yes almost as good as ours I should say.” Sean said toasting Orlando with his cup of tea.

Viggo rolled his eyes. “If you don’t stop teasing we won’t feed either of you.” Tabby scolded.

Sean said getting up as if on cue, “Well I guess we better get cleaned up, eh Orli?”

The two men left for their rooms while Viggo and Tabby continued to work in the kitchen preparing dinner. They shared a few kisses while they worked.

Soon they were all gathered in the kitchen eating and talking. After dinner was over and the kitchen straightened up Viggo and Tabby brought a tray with dessert into the living room so they could all enjoy it in front of the fire.

“This really is amazing.” Orlando said tasting the dessert.

“Yes it is. What is it?” Sean asked.

“It’s actually a combined recipe”, Viggo explained, “its Danind Ind Irish I suppose, Rødgrød med fløde and one of Tabby’s grandmother’s recipes for brownies.”

“The brownies are a variation on Irish Whiskey Cake actually.” Tabby added.

Sean smiled. “I thought the chocolate part tasted somewhat familiar. And this Rødgrød med fløde it’s a berryp, Vp, Viggo?”

“Yes, we thought they would be good together.” Viggo answered.

“They certainly are…Elijah would be so jealous of me right now.” Orlando said smiling.

Sean smiled. “You two certainly work well together…odd how you met just last week. You’d think the two of you had known each other for years.”

“Hmmm” Viggo responded patting Tabby’s thigh next to his on the couch.

After dessert Viggo said, “We never looked at the photos.”

“What? Oh we didn’t, did we?” Tabby said surprised she had forgotten about them.

“What photos?” Orlando asked.

“The ones I took the day Tabby arrived and the day after…they are in the dark room.” Viggo said standing and pulling Tabby up with him.

They went to the darkm anm and Viggo flipped on the light. Sean and Orlando were in the studio milling around looking at various half finished works Viggo had scattered around. Sean walked to a sketchpad and pointed. “Have a look.”

Orlando looked and it was a lovely sketch of Tabby. “Beautiful.” Orlando whispered.

They walked out of the dark room with the photos. “Here they are…and here is who caused Tabby to land up in my life.” Displaying a photo of the moose.

Sean laughed and took a look as Viggo laid them on the table. “These are magnificent Viggo…the lighting, my God.” Orlando gushed.

“Tabby developed them…well with my help but she did every step right along with me.” Viggo said proudly.

“Bravo, dear, bravo. It’s not as easy as one might think…Viggo taught me how and I still screw it up from time to time.” Orlando said smiling.

Tabby blushed.

Sean said, “Well I hate to beg out early but I am exhausted…goodnight all.”

Orlando yawned. “I am pretty wiped out myself…no hiking tomorrow! Goodnight.”

After they left Viggo and Tabby returned to the living room and cleaned it up and put the dishes in the dishwasher. They didn’t talk just worked companionably the entire time. When they were done Viggo pulled her into his arms and kissed her forehead. “Let’s go to our now now.”

Tabby didn’t miss that he said “our room”.
