The Married Neighbor

Hera

It was now Thursday and Hera had made a huge amount of development to her home.

The past four days had been draining yet rewarding, the house was now functional and Hera was practically done.

Hera had been closed up and away in her home decorating and getting her home together, thus, she had unfortunately not been able to meet anyone else from the neighborhood except for Anne Anderson.

It did give her a bit of uncertainty knowing that the next day she would be going to a dinner, where she knew entirely no one.

Allesandro

Friday

Allesandro woke up in not that great of a mood, and with a killer headache.

Walking downstairs to his home, to get a drink he was surprised to find his wife drinking coffee, leaned casually against the kitchen counter.

This caught Allesandro off guard, this was very rare of her, she would always be gone before he even woke for work.

Walking to the refrigerator he did not acknowledge her presence," morning." The voice of Heather rang through the quiet kitchen, taking water out of the refrigerator he replied with a simple "morning," back before sitting down on a breakfast table chair.

"Anne, came around yesterday and invited us to a barbeque dinner, she is having on Friday at six, so be home before, we are going ."

Allesandro felt his blood boil inside he really did not want to deal with anything today, Heather had become very authoritative something that Allesandro could not stand. In a marriage, both should feel equal, no one should feel superior to the other, and that was it. No excuses.

Sometimes he hated to admit it, but he felt controlled by Heather and considering he cared for her he obeyed, like a little lost puppy.

Standing up he headed out the kitchen without a word or nod, rapidly taking a freezing shower to hopefully help his clearly irritated self, he got clothed, grabbed his keys, and headed out the door without any goodbye.

Hera

Friday

One Friday Hera was done with officially done with her home, it had taken such a short amount of time due to the house being perfect the way it was. The walls, kitchen, everything was to her liking at the moment, but perhaps sometime in the upcoming future, when she had some time she would do some more remodeling.

Friday morning Hera woke up at the early hours of dawn not able to fall back asleep since no amount of sheep would help, she went on an early morning run to help her wind down to start her day.

Today would be a laid back day,  Hera would enjoy herself all day until around three where she would prepare some food to bring to the Anderson home, for the barbecue she would prepare a pasta dish her nonna taught her to do when she had visited Italy,  paired with some fresh garlic bread.

Looking down at the creamy shrimp pasta and homemade garlic bread Hera felt a joyful smile spread on her cherry lips, it not only looked appetizing but also tasted astounding against her tongue.
