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.
