"You're only lonely if you're not there for you." —Phil McGraw

"GOODMORNING HONEY." AARON spoke as he entered the bathroom. Finding Amelia brushing her teeth.

Amelia mumbled a good morning before spiting out her toothpaste.

She looked at him through the mirror noticing he was already ready for work, minus his tie.

'Can't avoid work forever.' He told her the night before.

Amelia felt like she needed something to keep her busy, a job would do just that but she didn't want to work, too hard anyway.

"What're you thinking about?" Aaron asked her noticing that her mind had wandered.

Amelia began her flossing routine as Aaron began to tie his tie.

"I need to join a hobby, or a book club. Something, being at home is not as exciting as I thought it would be."

Aaron chuckled at his wife. "Why don't you get a job?" Amelia smiled as she turned around and undid his tie, as it was tied wrong.

"You know, this is my job. Taking care of you and the house, you know housewife stuff. But it's boring, extremely boring. Me and Meredith are going out for drinks this weekend but that pretty much all I have on my schedule this whole week." Amelia paused before she continued rambling.

"And you get to go to work, deal with all those serial killers and exciting stuff like solving crime and being a superhero, while I get to sit at home and rewatch another romcom for the hundredth time." She sighed as she patted his chest.

Aaron loosened up his tie as he was slightly choking. "Honey, you don't have to work. But you can, and I won't stop you. I just want you to do whatever you think is best for yourself."

He wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her in.

"I don't know about getting a job, but I think I found a book club I could join." She said shrugging.

"You can't read a book if your life depended on it."

Amelia gasped offended. "I like reading! Just because I don't do it often doesn't mean I don't like it."

"Okay baby whatever you say." Amelia places a hand on his cheek as they leaned in and placed a kiss on each other's lips.

Aaron pulled away placing a short kiss to her forehead. "I should get going." He said as he looked down at his watch. Amelia nodded placing a peck to his lips.
