“Honey, I’m Home.” Robert called from the front door. He’d worked another exhausting day at the office and was ready to have a nice homemade meal with his family.
“I’m just in the kitchen, Rob.” His wife, Suzy, replied. Robert hung up his coat and entered the kitchen to see his wife putting the chicken in the oven.
“Oh. You’ve only just started cooking the chicken?” Robert asked before kissing his wife on the cheek.
Suzy smiled, “Yeah, I’m really sorry. I got caught up with the chores and forgot to put it in earlier. It’ll be a while.” She rubbed him on the back before heading for the hallway. “I’m really sore from all the chores, dear. I’m going to rest for a while.”
Robert sighed as she disappeared up the stairs. Oh well. He’d just watch some TV while he waited.
Later on, Robert and Suzy sat and ate dinner together. “Where’s Jake?” Robert asked, gesturing toward the empty seat at the table. “I haven’t seen him all day.”
