3 Chapter 3

“Hi,” he replied half-heartedly.

“Long day at work? You’re later than usual.”

God, she knew he was at the gym, not at work. He always went to the gym on Thursday, geez. Kevin repressed his sarcasm. For some reason Gloria’s casual comment irritated him.

“No, Gloria, not a long day. Stopped at the gym. It was crowded. Took some extra time.”

“Meet anyone interesting?”

Kevin froze. “What’s that supposed to mean?”

Gloria looked up from the paper she was reading. “Nothing. Just sometimes you tell me about the interesting people you see there, that’s all.”

“Oh…sorry. I guess I am a bit over tired.”

“Well, I’m going to yoga. You take a shower. Dinner’s in the fridge. Get some rest.”

Gloria got up, came around the kitchen table and gave Kevin a kiss. “Maybe you’ll be rested up by the time I get home?” She gave him the look that he knew all too well. It meant she was expecting more than a good night kiss.
