Far Too Quiet

October 2039

Keeley was lying on the couch boredly scrolling through her phone with her head in Aaron's lap after they both got home from work. It was far too quiet around here now that the kids were grown.

Violet and Nathan still lived at home because they were based in New York but they hardly ever spent any time here anymore. She was a ballerina with the New York City ballet and only worked about thirty hours a week but most of that was in the evenings. She was typically at home when her parents were at work.

Nathan had barely started culinary school but he was always out between that and hanging out with his newfound friends. Oliver was pursuing a mechanical engineering degree at MIT. Kaleb had been drafted by the Detroit Tigers baseball team and was wrapping up his first season with them.
