Blake has been in charge of the family for some time. He has total control over the entire world he lives in but wants to involve Janet in a decision for a change. She has not had any say at all in some time, nor has anyone else, but he needs to express it so the emotions involved will not be dismissed. Ultimately he has more than one, even more than two surprises for his family.
This particular story is a one off. I have been writing and re-writing the 2nd part of Touch of Green, having trashed 5k words twice now because I didn't like where it was going. This was a quick knock off to bring something off as practice and to release a bit of the pent up writing need. It may see a re-write to clean up some of the grammar and story line at some point.
