Empty Nest

Monday morning:

It starts here. Moonface and I are a couple again, no longer the parents of a nuclear family. Tom's in Wells, Rio's in the North. The house feels subtly different from when the kids were just out for the day: there's an emptiness that one can feel: it's underused.

We're going to have to change our lives to accommodate the gap which the children have left, perhaps make more effort to socialise outside our current main circles of friends. I must admit, I'm a little apprehensive about this change of life and how it will affect us.
