"What In the world are you two doing?" Claire's voice said. She had just arrived with her sons and was watching them.
"Playing soccer. I lost" Katherine said ruefully. Tim bounded to his feet and held her hand as she pulled herself up.
"You know they they have a game tonight right? And that you are playing the wrong sport?" Claire asked.
"Yeah" Katherine said. "It was just for fun. I just got home. You are early"
"Yeah I am" Claire agreed, but I thought we could hang out a bit before we left. If you don't mind. Sometimes I just need some space from the house, you know "
Katherine knew. She understood. So she smiled and nodded in agreement. She needed that sometimes too.
"But...." Claire continued, "Since you both are busy with your game, I will just sit around and watch... Maybe until half time"
