Phone call

Hello?

Hey it's me.

Oh good I was worried. I need to talk to you.

Well I need to talk to you too so good thing I called.

I got a new retirement job offer from the White House today. They want a profiler to assist with keeping the president safe. Threats are on the rise,but so many are just jokes so it's hard to separate real from fake.

You don't have to justify your actions to me you know. I will support you, I'm your wife after all. I agreed to support you and I do.

But with your job our kids will spend more time home alone without either of us.

Actually that's what I wanted to talk to about. I was forced to resign earlier today. I already have another offer for a job, however it's in New York. I was hoping you would help me get packed up for the movers tomorrow?

Of course. We'll spend lots less time together though.

I know. But real true couples make it work. Right?

Of course they do. And I'm sure we can work something out for holiday breaks.

I know. I love you alright? I must be going. I have an early morning tomorrow and still want to alert my replacement in person. I just hope she's the one who opens the door.

Good luck and know I love you. Do you even have a place to stay?

Yeah. My sister is letting me crash on her couch.

You sure? I could pull some strings to get you a room.

It's fine Aaron. I plan on going into work with her anyway so she won't wake me. Now seriously I have to go.

End phone call.

"Erin I'm heading out real quick. You don't have to wait up."

"Coolio. See you tomorrow morning. I love you."

"I love you too. Good night."
