“You can do it,” she assured him.
“Are you saying I should dip into our savings and buy the spa…”
“If that’s what you want,” she said.
“I do but it’s not just up to me. There are other things to consider.” He took her hand “what if it fails? It would take us years to recover and what about the kids?”
“And our eventual retirement,” she chuckled a little, shaking her head at him.
“I’m being serious,” he grumbled, turning away.
“I know but there’s no guarantee in anything. The best we can do is hope for the best.” Taking his hand “I think you can do this. I’ll support you no matter what you decide. I will say this though, you’ll regret it if you don’t do it.”
Nodding slowly “you’re right as usual.”
“I usually am,” she smiled, leaning into him to give him a kiss.
