A group of old friends, gathered for a night of food and fun, invariably found that time flew when they were together. Before they knew it, night had deepened around them. They had so many stories yet to share, and none of them wanted the evening to end.
Skyler, ever the generous host, decided to offer a sleepover. "We can all squeeze into the king-size bed," she suggested with a playful grin.
Cornelia had just finished washing up when her personal cell phone chimed with a new WhatsApp message.
Lounging in an armchair, Hannah teased, "I bet your hubby can't stand the thought of you spending the night out. Is he checking in to make sure you're not having too much fun without him?"
A bit tipsy, Cornelia didn't even want to move. "Even if it was the king himself knocking, I'd stay right here to keep Skyler company."
Skyler walked over, picked up the phone, and handed it to Cornelia. "Even if you want to stay, you should drop him a line. Don't leave the man worrying."d2
Cornelia snorted, "I don't wanna deal with him right now."
Skyler probed, "You guys had a fight?"
"If only it were that simple," Cornelia sighed.
Skyler didn't understand. "How can fighting ever be a good thing?"
Cornelia pouted, her voice tinged with a hint of distress, "He's always so accommodating, putting me first in everything, never thinking of himself. His job is way more stressful than mine, and he earns in a month what I make in a year. Yet, he insists on handling all the parenting duties himself, and that's not even the half of it."
