Colleen was frying grilled cheese sandwiches in the kitchen while Julie worked at the table when Randy arrived home. She didn't even greet him when he came in to see if Julie needed any help, Colleen just continued with her cooking.
"Uh, Jules, how about you get washed up for dinner okay?" He asked. Julie jumped up went the bathroom, closing the door behind her. She was old enough to realize they were going to "talk" and she didn't want to be present for it. After they heard the soft click, Randy sighed and began to speak.
"Colleen," he began. "let me explain."
"What is there to explain?" Colleen finally turned and looked at him. "You ran into an old friend, so what?" She quickly returned to her task.
"She and old girlfriend, and I'm sorry it got so awkward." Randy looked down at his feet. Colleen remained silent. "Colleen, why won't you talk to me? I said I was sorry."
"You don't have any reason to be sorry Randy, I'm just tired alright? I left because I didn't see any need to be there any longer." Colleen sighed becoming frustrated.
"Want me to finish dinner?" He asked after a few moments of standing there silently.
"No, I've got it." She said blankly. Randy walked up behind her and silently wrapped his arms around her waist hoping she wouldn't pull away. To his great satisfaction, she didn't, she leaned into him just slightly, her feet aching from the day. Julie returned to the kitchen and began to set the table. Randy gave Colleen a kiss on the cheek and helped Julie get the dishes out.

A/N sorry this is short again, but please tell me what you think of this chapter. Props to my friend Lindsey for the excellent idea for this plot change ;)
