~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Isabel ran out her frustrations with her husband. The train of thought she rode went everywhere imaginable. The thoughts started with 'he is such a jerk' and other things like 'why did we even get married, we don't get along.' Those sentences barley crossed her mind before they were dismissed and replaced with 'well we get along fine, and he is very loving. Just, easily distracted'. She started to think she was a little hard on him, but changed her mind there too. She was not too hard, he needed to hear every word of that. Maybe she could have been a little more gentle about it though. Maybe not, she might have done it just right.

Isabel couldn't help it, she voices her opinion, be it loud or soft. When things bother her, she will let you know about it.

When she was done running, Isabel realized that she had not really made a decision as to whether to apologize for yelling at him or not. Then, she concluded that it would depend on his next move.



There was a new bar in town. A place called 'Eugi's'. After his wife had laid it on him that he was being a bad husband and father, Hayden had to get out of the house. He had heard about this bar on the news, so figured that now would be a good time to visit.

Hayden sat down at the bar and ordered his first drink. A Shillelagh. He had no idea what was in it but, it really woke him up. His whole body felt completely energized. Hayden finished the drink and was going to play a game of shuffle board when he heard a familiar voice behind him. He turned to see Kenya waving him down. Not like she had to, the place was small. He talked with her a while, then she excused herself. Hayden ordered another drink and continued to the shuffle board game.

He played quite a few rounds with a few different people, and also ordered a few rounds of beverages for himself and his new friends. Pretty soon he realized he had not eaten in quite a while, and was starving.

"Barkeep, got any good food around here?" Hayden asked over the noise.

"I wouldn't go so far as to call it good son, but we got some food." The bartender answered. "What d'ya fancy?"

"Chips and dip?" Hayden said, in the form of a question.

The bartender laughed, "Nachos would be as close as we could get to that, want me to put the cheese on the side so you can treat it like a dip?"

"No thanks, just as they come is fine." Hayden said, slurring slightly.



At home, Isabel was actually trying to call Hayden. She noticed he was not home, and was just wondering where he went. With no answer she was getting slightly worried. She had finished her workout and was just about to shower when she went looking for him. After the second attempt of calling, she gave up and got ready.

Isabel was going to invite Hayden to go with her to the local Bistro. Hayden did not answer his phone, which irritated Isabel a little more than she was already, so she got dressed and went by herself.

The waitress brought Isabel a plate completely different than she ordered so her meal was free, and the owner gifted her a bottle of wine as well. She decided to drink most of it there, with her correct meal. Pretty often she got odd looks from other guests, and wondered what they were about. Isabel was famous because of her father, but normally these are not the looks she gets. Maybe it was because she was alone? Everyone knew she was married by now, they were probably looking for something to gossip about.

It was not too long before Isabel had finished her dinner and went home, in a cab because she had that wine. Hayden was still not back.

At Eugi's, Kenya had apparently been working on her Bass playing. She was pretty good, and was putting on a show for the customers, including Hayden. Hayden cheered for her and danced a little bit before returning to the bar for one more drink. This one was a 'spine tingler', it stood up to it's name and made his bones shiver.

He used the restroom, which for some reason was completely wet, then played two more shuffle board rounds. After he lost both of those games he decided to go home. Hayden processed his drinks very quickly and was only slightly buzzed when he left the bar. He was intoxicated enough to know not to drive, and hailed a taxi. It was also a thirty minute drive home, so he had a little more time to sober up before getting there.

Hayden walked into the bedroom with full intentions of going to sleep. His wife was probably already there. Or so he thought. She met him as he walked in, and right away she said that she was sorry for screaming at him, but she was not wrong for what she said. Everything she said, she still felt was true, but she could have approached it differently. Hayden apologized then for his own actions, he actually apologized more than once. He understood why she said those things, and he agreed that she was right. He needed to straighten up.










Hayden hugged Isabel tight, and pulled her into bed with him. That night he apologized in more ways than one, and gave her some of the pleasures she had been missing.


**Earlier that day**

The boys had gotten home from school and sat at the table to do what they hate most, homework. Cedric, being a genius, did not mind so much and finished quicker than his brothers. Afterward he actually went looking for his mother to play a game of chess, but found her working out, rather forcefully. Deciding not to disturb her, he played a game of chess.

James and Charlie went to the den to get some video game time in before dinner. Unfortunately the television upstairs was broken, and neither felt like fixing it at the time. Each settled for something else. Charlie got a good book to read and James played the computer.



Jenni had spent most of her time cleaning up after her family. She had gotten so good at unclogging the toilets in the house, she could now do it in under ten minutes. Broken johns seemed to be a regular occurrence in this household. The washing machine decided to break that day as well, so she fixed that too.



After her chores were done and dinner was made she stood by the bar and had some non-alcoholic juice. She often served it in the evening and her and the boys drank them together. They were obviously busy so she sipped hers alone that day. Isabel came down the stairs.

"Jenni, have you seen Hayden?"

"No I haven't dear, sorry. Anything I can do for you?" Jenni asked. Isabel told her no that it was okay, she was just curious and went back upstairs. Jenni finished her drink, then called the boys for dinner. Charlie and James came down the stairs, sounding like a herd of llamas. Cedric came from the sitting room. Isabel walked out the door just as everyone else was sitting down to eat.

"I'll be back soon guys, have a good dinner. Bye Jenni." She said as she left.

**I want to make it clear, the last half of this is during the same time as Isabel and Haydens story at the top. Isabel leaving in the last paragraph is her leaving for her dinner. Sorry if that was confusing.**
