Todd has been sitting on the couch in his home eagerly waiting for Jim to get there. Jim has been at work all day and Todd hasn't talked to him since he left this morning. He had a table read today, so Todd gets to hear his first thoughts on this week's script.
Jim got home after 10 minutes of Todd sitting on the couch thinking about him. When Jim walked in Todd pushed him against the wall and kissed him. When they finally broke away from each other, Jim walked to his office and put his stuff down, then he immediately went back to Todd. While Jim was in his office, Todd got apple slices and peanut butter and set them on the table in front of the couch and sat down. When Jim returned, he sat next to Todd with an exhausted look.
"Maybe we should go to bed earlier tonight." Todd said while moving closer to him.
"Maybe we should. The only bad part of that is dinner has to be earlier"
"How is that bad?"
"You make dinner, so you would have to cook earlier, and that means I can't sit with you long."
"We can have salad tonight, so we make it and sit here together while we eat."
"You always know what to do." He said then kissed Todd's cheek.
"I try babe. I really do."
"Come on. We have salads to make." Jim said as he got up and reached for Todd's hand.
Sometime later
They sat down, closer than they were, with their salads.
"Babe?" Todd asked.
"Yes?"
"Why are you so tired today?"
"I spent the whole day thinking of Saturday night and the new script. Those are two major topics in my life and I was trying to keep up with them both at the same time."
"The only thing on Saturday is our 13th anniversary, we don't have to do anything."
"We always do something, and I don't think we should stop."
"Why not? It's obviously causing you to not be able to focus at work."
"I grew up in a house where you always do something on your anniversary, even if it is the smallest thing in the world."
"Let's do something small then."
"Like what?"
"Let's just go out to dinner."
"Where?"
"We both love Le Marchiere, so we'll go there."
"Okay. Again, you always know what to do."
"Again. I try."
