A Striking Unrealized Truth Chapter 2

Chapter 2

Bo sat at his house watching TV, he was feeling excited. Tomorrow he’d be out with Nora, they had finally found a time that worked for both of them. The front door opened he smiled.

“Hey honey.”
“Bo. I didn’t know you’d be home already.”
“Quiet day.”
Sarah nodded and headed over to the couch and sat next to him. He gave her a quick peck on the cheek.

“How was your day?”
Sarah shrugged.

“Okay. You?”
“Not bad. As I said work was quiet. Oh, I won’t be home tomorrow night.”
“Oh, that is fine. What are doing?”
“Nora and I are hanging out, we both found sometime.”
Bo noticed Sarah jaw clench.

“Oh, Nora. That is nice.”
“Sarah is there something wrong?”
“No.”
Bo felt awkward as they both got silent. He wasn’t sure what was happening between them, but something wasn’t right.  Bo offered Sarah some popcorn, she declined.

“I think I am going to head upstairs and work.”
“Oh okay.”
Sarah got up left. Bo felt himself relax, he wished he could figure out what was going on with his wife. It started right before they got married and had progressively gotten worse. He wasn’t sure if he was doing something wrong. Maybe they had both changed too much since their first marriage. He honestly didn’t know what to do about it.

He sighed, then smiled as he remembered he got to hang with Nora tomorrow. That always lifted his spirits.
