There were three hours left before Rich clocked out of work. I have been bored all day, doing nothing but sleep and eat on my day off. I decided to FaceTime him.

"Sexy bum, your cam is off."

The sheets on the bed rustled when I shifted.

"Rich, my phone's facing down."

"Okay. What are you doing?"

"I'm holding something long and hard in bed."

"Which toy?"

"Not a toy. It's Ben & Jerry's -"

"Wait, what?!"

The inflection in his voice was evident. I giggled.

"One lick at a time."

"Sophie, don't you dare!"

In fifteen minutes, he was home.
