Wow,you're home early.It s only
eight forty-five.
Yeah,it was a strange day at the office.
Why?Did your presentation go poorly?
No,nothing like that.In fact,it went
really well.It's just that I had some trouble with a
colleague.
Who?
Do you remember Steve Dawson?
Let me think Didn't I meet him at the Christmas party?
Yes,that's him.
That's right I told you to becareful when working
with him.He seemed so aggressive.
What did he do?
Oh,nothing really.I just thought
we were supposed to be working together,
but he seemed to be working against me.
I told you to watch out for him.
I remember I said....
(Cutting her off.)Yes,you told me.
But I don't want to talk about it now.
Tomorrow is Saturday and I just want to
rest.Besides,we haven't had much time together
either.How was your day?
The same as always.I like teaching but sometimes the
children are so wild.
But they love you and need you,just like me.
Oh,stop.And,anyway,I don't want to talk about my day
either.Have you eaten?
Not since lunch.You?
I was waiting for you.I thought you might be
home early.
Great.What do you want?
Let's order some Chinese food.I feel like staying at
home and watching a video.
Perfect.
