“I’m not being silly, am I?” She didn’t really feel good about this situation, but she also needed to let him know. She felt burdened by it.

She seemed to be relieved upon hearing his statement.
“But I still want you to indulge yourself a bit. Let’s go out for dinner tomorrow. Then, we’ll go shopping next weekend.”
“Don’t be wasteful. We really have to save as much as we can. We have a kid we need to send to college!”
His lip twitched before he let out a chuckle. “We have plenty of time to prepare for that. He’s barely two years old.”
