"What a woman" ~ for A Little Drabble Do Ya!

He was dog tired, but would never admit that fact to anyone, especially the woman who was asleep upstairs in the bedroom.

It was three o’clock when he finally walked through the front door, and after resetting the alarm he wished his security escort a good night. There were two of them, and they’d take turns standing guard through what was left of the night.

“Estelle,” Waverly whispered as his wife lifted her head when he entered the room. “Hello old girl.”

“Darling,” she looked at the clock.” You’re home early.”

Alexander chuckled. He always loved her sense of humor.

A sweet glimpse of Waverly's home life. The voices sound just like I imagine they would.

Thank you! That's an ultimate compliment!

Mrs Waverly must have the patience of a saint. Sweet drabble :-)

Indeed she does. In a backstory somewhere I have her waiting up for him in the early UNCLE years, but eventually she just goes to bed as she just doesn't have the stamina of her husband.

Thanks so much for the comment!

I love that line... hello old girl. I can hear him saying it. Sweet.

Thank you! Yes, I was hoping it sounded like him. You figure Waverly/Carroll was in his late seventies on the show, turning 81 the final year, so his wife was probably up there in years as well. I've heard the term of endearment 'old girl' used for younger married women as well, but it just seemed perfect for him so say to her.

Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for commenting.

Forgot to compliment you on your userpic. Nice.

I've been using that user pic for the Map Room, but just felt like using it as it's a bit generic, but 'spy' looking.
