After seven years Nobody could possibly be that happy all the time.  He couldn't complain much because, he always had a hot meal to eat . Coming home every night she'd be smiling ear to ear. Somehow Miles seemed to be spiraling out of control. One day while sitting at the dinner table Miles curiously got the best of him. "Hey honey is there anything new going on with you? "Actually I'm glad you asked I have an appointment with my Doctor tomorrow afternoon she smiled placing a hot plate of tacos in front of her husband. "Well I'm off tomorrow so would you like me to go with you ? "Yes hun I would absolutely love that she grinned sitting down with her plate . Miles smiled while drinking his glass of sweet tea.
