It was ten minutes before he stepped out of the house with a puzzled expression on his face.“What is it?” Stephen asked.“You have company,” Ne...tor said.“Company?” Stephen asked puzzled by the answer. Entertaining company wasn’t very conducive to invoking an involuntary proposal. Company didn’t fit any of his other theories either. There had to be some sort of trick.“Yes, there are five young women waiting for you,” Nestor said.“Are they gorgeous?” Stephen asked getting concerned.“No,” Nestor. His gaze shifted to the wall clock and he saw that it was 11:00 pm. This was unusually late for Michelle who got off work at 9:00 pm. In fact, she had been running late a lot in the last few weeks, and that had been a cause of consternation for Bobby. Bobby heard the key turn in the front door and Michelle entered. She looked beautiful, and vibrant as always, flashed him a smile, and kissed him fully on the lips. Although the two of them had been married for ten years, she still looked exactly. The next morning---Megan slept in. Or, rather, I got up quietly and let her get more rest. After a quick breakfast, I went out into the yard to do somethings I'd neglected the day before; and as I did, I saw William. He, too, was doing things in his back yard. At first he didn't see me, but eventually we made eye contact, and I deliberately waved, and though he seemed to hesitate at first, he also waived, and I went to the fence between our two houses, and he did the same. We chatted about the. So I made sure the kids were doing all right before showering and going to bed early. Chad was fine as always. Homework was never an issue with him though I disappointed him by not playing a game of Madden with him.Barbara on the other hand, was not so fine. I found her in the family room crying her poor little eyes out. As soon as I sat down next to her she put her head on my chest and really let the waterworks out. Growing up, I thought Chad was going to be the emotional one since he was such.
