Park the car, turn out the headlights.
Out the car, grab the briefcase.
Make sure the car’s locked.
Walk to the back door, unlock it.
Leave the keys on the counter.
The kitchen’s dark, only the outdoor lights illuminate the
room.
No matter.
Open the fridge, there’s bottled water, an apple, and some
cheese.
Close the fridge.
Grab briefcase and handbag.
Trudge upstairs.
Put the bags at the edge of the bed.
Sit down at the dressing table.
Take off each earring
Take a deep breath.
Remove all the make up.
Undress and reach for the bath robe.
Turn on the heater for a shower.
Feel the warmth of the covers.
Curl up with a book in the dim bedroom lights.
Goodnight.
