Alison fumbled with the lock as she struggled with the weight of the bag she had hooked onto her arm that was full of paperwork. She hadn’t managed to finish all of her filings, so when she saw it was 5 o’clock she had shoved the pile into a bag and brought it with her. She cursed under her breath as she felt her arm get tired and her key refusing to enter the keyhole. She was only able to open the door when she put the bag down and tried again.
She sighed as the door finally swung open and allowed her into the apartment. Putting her keys back in her jacket pocket, she reached down to pick up the bag and stepped inside.
“Hey hun.” She heard Nick call out to her from the living room.
She didn’t reply as she put the bag against the wall and dropped her purse down next to it. Then she kicked off her high heels and walked down the hallway into the living room.
