"I'm home!" Tex announced, he closed the front door and kicked off his boots and dropped his bag by the door as he just wanted to lay down on the couch and not move for two hours.
"How was work?" Jess asked, she was on the couch reading a trashy romance novel. It was how she turned off the part of her brain after a long day at work.
"Too long and I'm too old." Tex said, he laid down on the couch and rested his head in her lap.
"Ha, you're not 100 yet." Jess said, she absently stroked his hair as she continued to read her book.
"I feel like I am." Tex sighed dramatically, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, allowing himself to finally relax. "What's for dinner?" he asked.
"Beef and rice with vegetables." Jess said.
"My favourite." Tex murmured, he felt himself drift off to sleep as Jess' scalp massage soothed him into a pleasant slumber.
