“I want that one mommy! The little one that’s brown, with the big ears!” Julia says pointing to the one that’s jumping up and down.  

I say, “Ok, are you sure? They are a lot of work.”

“Yes, yes, yes!”

 “Ok!”  I say. Julia starts running off, with her long brown hair flowing behind her. 

Julia and I get home; it’s about 3:30, a nice autumn day.  It’s supposed to be that way all week.  We let the little puppy run around.  

Julia asks, “Where’s Daddy?” rubbing her head with her petite hand. 

I say, “I don’t know. He didn’t come home last night.”   

Knock, knock, knock.

“Julia, can you get that?” I ask.

“Mom, its Tori!” she yells.

“Oh hi, have you happened to see Paul anywhere?  Out in the village or so?”

“No, I haven’t, why?” Tori asks.  “But anyways I came to ask if you’d like to take a walk on Monday.  It’s supposed to be a gorgeous day.”

“Ok! I’d love to!” I say.

            “I’m home!” Paul says while he walks through the door.

“Daddy!” Julia yells.  “Look at my new puppy!”    

I smile and ask him, “Where have you been?”

He says, “On a business trip.”

“Oh” I say.  In my head I know that isn’t true, so I figure I will just take a peek in to his briefcase.

            I am lying there, just waiting to hear his first snore.

“Zzzzzzzz” He goes.

            Then I ever so silently get up and go to his briefcase on the chair across the room.  I luckily know his password, my birthday, 10-12-81.  I open it.  There I find two movie tickets to a romantic movie that played last night, 10:00pm to 12:00am.  “OMG” I gasp.  He’s cheating on me.”  But the question was with who?

A/N:  I'm sorry this is really bad, I wrote it in seventh grade.  Hopefully it gets better when I start writing new passages :)
