Chapter 136: Waterpark

Tom woke on the couch again. It wasn't his favorite place to sleep, but Brooke had been mad about something last night. He thought hard about what triggered this fight. He stretched to get the juices flowing again. After dinner, she tried to sit with him on the couch, but she kept stretching out and he kept giving her space. Apparently, that wasn't the right call. She had stormed off and told him to sleep on the couch.

He had come to hate the weekends. At least during the week he was at work most of the time and only had to deal with her at the end of the day a couple nights a week. She usually had book club or a dinner party and would leave a meal for him in the oven. The other nights would all start out nice, but now she was constantly pushing him into situations where he would have to refuse her. She was starting to get frustrated with him. For god sakes, he was getting frustrated with himself.
