All Chris could really do was nod in agreement as he slowly continued to work on his breakfast, draining what was last of his first cup of coffee. He kissed Paris goodbye and watched as she left.

Yeah, he could do that. He could put the dishes in the dishwasher… and then he would think about the new house they were planning on buying. Or maybe they could even build it.

Wait…

Slowly, as Chris began to wake up more, he realized just what had happened (or what had not happened), and turned to frown in the direction that Paris had left in, although she was already long gone.

Clever girl, asking him about all of that while he was waking up. He didn’t even have the time to argue about it.

He frowned and let out a small sigh, but glanced down at the pages again. Maybe it would be nice… But he would have to talk to her about having important discussions like this with him before he was awake.
