The kitchen doorbell rings… At the same moment, Carly walks in the kitchen door.
Sam, having just finished emptying the dishwasher turns.
"Morning Carl's. Coffee?"
"No thanks Sam, I'm good. You ready? These Blimbilton's half off coupons are only good from ten until noon."
"You bet! I just want to tell Freddie we're leaving, just a sec."
Fred had just stepped in the shower when Sam entered the bathroom.
"Honey, Carly is here, we're leaving. The kid's are in the front room watching cartoons. Don't leave 'em alone for too long or they'll destroy something."
Freddie stuck his head out of the shower and gave his wife a kiss.
"Ok, babe. Tell Carly hello and you two have fun. Thanks for this morning Sam. Your just awesome! The best lover, ever!"
"Yeah, that was pretty good, huh Freddie. You be a good boy today and you just might get more of that awesomeness tonight. If we can get the kids to sleep…"
With another quick kiss and a smirk, Sam left her husband to his shower, and joined Carly outside by the side door.
"Just one second, Carly, come with me."
Carly followed Sam around the house, stopping at some plumbing pipes that came up out of the ground. Each pipe had a valve with a neatly labeled sign explaining its purpose. One large red lever valve was labeled 'HOUSE: ALL HOT WATER". Sam grabbed the red lever and moved it from "ON" to "OFF". Almost immediately you could hear muffled screaming coming from a grown man somewhere in the house.
Sam chuckled, and turned back to Carly.
"I'm all set, Carl's. Let's go."

The Affair
OK, yeah I forgot that little bit of excitement, and I really wanted to get it into the story.
But, it kind of worked out doing it like that. I've always believed that,
'Revenge is a dish best eaten cold'.
