*Chapter 2 is up! Again, open to suggestions and feedback. I promise I won’t keep the buildup going for much longer!*
Nicholas was at work, sitting at his desk when he heard the sound of his phone vibrating. He had looked down from his screen and saw it was his wife, Tina. He rolled his eyes and groaned a bit to himself. He never liked dealing with her as it was for the most part, but particularly not at work. Work was his safe haven. He wondered as he went to grab his phone if all married people were like this. Was it normal to just completely dread dealing with your spouse? He thought of all the older married men he’s encountered in life; “happy wife, happy life” they always said. Swiping up on the phone, he opened the messages.
*Hey.*
*Hey hon, how’s it going?*
*Can you pick up the grocery order on the way home? I don’t feel like going out at all.*
*Nicholas sighed. When does she ever feel like doing anything he thought. He shook his head a little and began to answer back.*
*Sure.*
*Nevermind.*
