Aaron steps out of his vehicle; heading towards his household while, handling his mobile phone against his ear; his face expressing such delight and his tone conveys friendliness.
It seems that he is engaging a conversation with his long-term colleague and friend; Jennie Müller with the occupation of a Forensic detective.
As he enters the house he crosses path with Valerie, who makes a standstill; probably urging to speak with him
"Yes...we'll discuss this at a later time."
He hangs up, and continues to maintain his gracious mood, even when he speaks to Valerie.
"Lovely morning, isn't it?"
Valerie is so stunned at this side of him
"Oh, I'm sure this has something to do with your disappearance for the past two weeks."
He locates his hands onto the arch of her hips, while he expresses words of affection towards her. "Oh, my dear, sweet, lovely wife while I do appreciate your concern; that is not really case."
"For the record, I don't want to know, about what you've been up to these past two weeks"
Valerie breaks from his embrace as she makes her way towards the door.
"Besides, keeping secrets and disappearing is your specialty."
"You should know, I am doing it for your own good."
Before the woman is about to leave, something comes to mind that she expresses her thoughts to Aaron.
"Oh, right...I made an appointment with our lawyer this coming Friday; concerning the divorce papers."
Aaron seems to reply without any sign or utterance of disagreement, he remains completely collected.
"Oh right, I will be there."
Valerie remains dumbfound by his will of working willingly and agreeably with her.
"Wait, who are you and what did you do with my husband? Aren't you going argue about it? Or turn this house upside down?"
"Now,why would I do that?"
"Because, that is exactly what's expected from you."
"Well, I apologise for coming to a realization and comprehended why you are doing all of this, and twenty-seven years of marriage is quite alot; seeing that we didn't live our lives to fullest as we spent most of it, in our inseparable tangled lovingly arms."
Valerie's cheeks develop pinkish tinges, followed by her lips extending into a beam.
"Wow, I didn't think that you'd still have your charm, after all these years...it's been a while."
"Really?" Aaron doubtfully inquiries .
"Yes, it seems to have been in hiding."
Suddenly there is silence between them, until Valerie uses the opportunity to be on her way.
"I am off to do some grocery shopping."
-
Aaron heads up the stairs, making an encounter with his daughter; Amanda, who is going down.
"Hey, Dad." she greets her father, while her eyes are glued to the screen, her fingers typing away.
"You do realize that very device you love so much, will give you health problems in the future, right?"
