I step inside the house, and the first thing I do is lie down on the couch. I’m so tired. I can't wait to take off my work clothes before lying down. I just got home from work. There are only a few days left before my trip with Jason.
“Hello, dear,” Uncle Jack says, walking into the living room.
“Hi.”
“You seem exhausted.”
“I am. Work has been hectic this week.”
“Why”
“Jason and my trip is this weekend. We’re trying to wrap up all his important business before we leave.”
“Oh, that's true,” Uncle Jack says.
“Yeah. How was work today?” I ask, sitting up.
“The same. Nothing new happened.”
“Any plans for tonight?” I ask, removing my heels.
“No,” he says, staring at the TV. I don't know why, but I feel a guilty for why he doesn’t have plans.
“Uncle Jack,” I say, to get his attention
