In the morning, Linda's alarm went off at the usual time. She hadn't changed it. She took a shower and went downstairs to have a cup of coffee.
To her surprise, Jon was already down there, having breakfast.
"You're taking care of dinner tonight, right?" She asked Jon.
"Sure...I'm going to try something new."
"I'll be home in time for dinner," she said.
"Great," he said. "If you are going to be late, call...I don't want it to be ruined."
"Okay," she said, heading off to work.
Jon cleaned up the breakfast dishes and headed to school. It seemed strange to him that Miss Fine had shown up at his house the previous night, but she had been right. He had been selfish and immature. He was going to do his fair share around the house.
