The Date

When I published my story Interdiction, I had already started writing this one. I had two ideas for how to handle the scenario of “the wife comes home and tells her husband she wants to go on a date with a coworker.” I went with Interdiction, but recently I started rereading this and realized it was a very different story and one that I liked too much to let go. So, here is another take on the plot. I hope you enjoy it.

There is no sex, and it is mostly dialog between the husband and wife.
