"Here's a bench," said Illya. "We could have a rest if you want."

"That sounds like a good idea," Trina replied. They'd just returned from Coney Island, where they'd ridden the famous wooden roller coaster and eaten the famous chili cheese dogs. Now they were taking a relaxing stroll along the boardwalk looking out over the Atlantic Ocean.

"Would you like some more cotton candy?" asked Trina.

"No, thank you," said Illya. The idea of all that sugar made him feel a bit queasy.

They'd been sitting on the bench for less than five minutes when Illya's beeper suddenly went off.

"I'll be there right away. Kuryakin out," Illya said after listening for a few minutes.

"That was Mr. Waverly," he told Trina. "A couple of UNCLE agents are being held captive by THRUSH. I will have to take you home right away. I am very sorry. I will make it up to you soon, I promise."

"That's all right," said Trina. "I know that in your line of work, duty comes first."

"Thank you for being so understanding," Illya said. As he took her home, he thought about how fortunate he was that Trina was always so understanding about it when he was unexpectedly called away, which happened quite frequently.

Life and family will never be easy for an UNCLE agent, and making it up probably won't happen. They're just keep moving forward as that's all they can do.

Nice take on the prompt. What happened? Were you not able to insert the picture?

Yes, never a moments peace for an agent.

We can all understand why Mr. Waverly frowns on marriage for his agents; it's a rocky proposition.
