"I'm happy to have you at any time," she said with a smile, "As long as you don't mind the mess since I haven't quite finished up."

There was no mess. Everything was not in perfect spotless order, but it was all set to be cleaned up easily. Nell was absolutely a clean as you go person.

"Come keep me company while I do the washing up?"

She wouldn't object to another kiss or two either befoer she got started. Since they were already so close and all.
