Chapter 1 - A Quarrel and A Plan
David sat reading a novel while Misty played with their baby when he stated loudly,
“I can’t live like this any more”
Misty turned quickly to him and said “I don’t get what you mean”
“Well you should.” he said, using a quieter voice “Our situations is not desirable”
“It may not be desirable but it’s not horrible either” She replied, picking up the baby
“It should be better. Scientists are supposed to get more then the child on the corner selling lemonade rather than less, are they not?” He said, trying to contain his anger at her calm tone
With a slight frown, Mist replied “What an exaggerated comparison. Plus, you have no one to blame but yourself. You’re the one who chose to be in that line of research.”
“They said it would bring in more money” David said, standing up quickly
“Yes, because money is all that matters to you.” She said, glaring at him
Not having a smart remark to the truth, he stayed silent.
“That’s what I thought.” She said, walking to their bedroom and closing the door behind her.
David clenched his teeth and threw his paperback down the hall after her.
“Stupid woman” He muttered under his breath as he walked over to the phone and dialed a number he had written on his hand the day before.
“I’ll be early. If that’s okay with you” He said to the person on the other line, letting out a small insane laugh at the end
“Oh. A change of plans? I suppose we can fit you in”
“I can’t live like this any more”
Misty turned quickly to him and said “I don’t get what you mean”

NO IT'S NOT HORRIBLE. I'VE DONE MUCH MUCH MUCH WORSE, SO THIS IS GOOD.
Did you do all this yourself? I didn't know you could write. :) (uh, not to be sounding mean or anything...it's good!)
