That’s my wife, Belinda,” I added filling an awkward pause, “You were telling me about your job, and feeding in the office.”“Well, not much ...o tell about the job really, except that I’m exceptionally good at it. The editor was very pleased that I only took a month off before, and a month after, for this little complication,” she said, looking lovingly down at the noisy little feeder. “I’ve got no one to look after her, and she’s too young for ‘day care’, so she comes everywhere with me. That’s. “Oh I was just getting dinner ready and was thinking what a wonderful husband I have. I don’t deserve you I know that.” Tears started to well in her eyes. “Hey,” I said. “Don’t talk nonsense. I love you and you’re the best.” “Well maybe in the kitchen but not in bed.” She rested her head in my shoulder. “I’m sorry I’m frigid. I think you need to trade me in.” “Well not just yet.” I laughed. “A few miles to go on the clock. How long till dinner?” “’bout an hour. Why?” “That should be plenty. ” She laughed. “We’re out hitting the shops for some retail therapy but will be back by lunch. We just wanted to let you know.”“Cool I’ll see you both back at the apartment.”I picked up some things for lunch and headed home. They arrived just as I was finishing setting out the food.“So did you two have fun, the shops around here seem pretty good.”“Yeah, we both found some great things. We might even show them to you later.” Ash said smiling.We ate and talked through lunch. Renee seemed to. Julie depressed his reset switch, and Michael's eyelids closed as all of his lights went black for a second, and re-lit one by one.Danny and Matthew did the same to Chip and Becky as their entire bodies went limp upon the reset."It'll probably take them awhile to reboot," Julie said. "In the meantime, I need a cigarette."Everyone retreated outside to Shane's porch and smoked a cigarette. Even Matthew and Danny, who both didn't smoke, joined in to try to cope with the wave of emotions they were.
