ASPEN, Colo. — Charlie Sheen and his wife were reunited yesterday after a judge modified a restraining order and allowed them to work out their differences following a Christmas Day dispute in which the actor allegedly pinned his spouse on a bed with a knife to her throat.

The couple hugged in court, and Brooke Mueller Sheen's attorney said they hugged and kissed after the brief hearing. The attorney said he has asked prosecutors to drop the case.
