Lovely, bittersweet portrait of an established couple dealing with what comes down the road after the usual romancelandia HEA. In this case empty nesters, young ones (34 & almost 40) dealing with life after their kid is off to college. How do you go back to spontaneous sex on the kitchen counter when you just spotted gray hairs in your nether regions or when the sobriquet of twink no longer applies to you? A good portion of this is the MCs in their heads, what they're thinking about their aging selves and how they think the other sees them now. Yes, I know, a lot that can be solved by talking but we humans are complicated primitive creatures who like to get to things the hard way or no way at all. However [a:K.C. Burn 3413044 K.C.

I enjoyed this little nugget in [a:Charlie Belmont 6432818 Charlie Belmont https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-632230dc9882b4352d753eedf9396530.png]'s excellent narration. Recommend.
