I get out of my car, and start toward my front door. Even though I'm tired, my step is a bit lighter tonight. Lily and Amy are both out tonight so maybe the thought of having a night alone with my wife is what is doing it. Though our oldest is in college and the twins are in high school, I have found that it's hard to get private moments in our own home without someone barging in...and that includes all the other 'club-members'. But not tonight.
I open the door and the first thing I see is Liz pacing the floor. She turns as soon as I walk in and she's biting at her lower lip. Something she only does when she's worried.
"Liz...honey? What's wrong? Did something happen?" I ask suddenly concerned and the light happy feeling seeping away.
