Good Story

Nat & Zach’s daughter is down for a nap. They’re sitting outside on lounge chairs.

Zach: …Can you believe that?

Silence.

Zach: Hello?

Nat: Babe, I’m trying to read.

Zach: I haven’t seen you all week. I’m trying to connect with my wife.

Nat: Okay, you’re right. I’m sorry. What is it?

Zach: The shortcut I took shaved off at least twenty minutes.

Nat: Good story.

Nat goes back to her book.

Zach: You’re the worst.

Five, quiet minutes later…

Zach: I’m going inside.

Nat: Don’t go. We’re having such a nice time.
