The Sunday night date night movie of the week with Sam was beginning to wear on her nerves. Sam never let her pick a movie unless he already wanted to watch it, and she was tired of the same six movies, over and over.
“Time is on our side, babe,” he said, every single week. Same line, every time. Katherine knew her time would never come, though. Sam was too selfish and greedy to give up his favorite time of the week.
The squeak on the stairs announced that one of the kids was awake. Katherine took her cue to see what the story was, leaving Sam on the couch to watch Die Hard for the twenty-first time. Or maybe the twenty-second. Katherine lost count a year ago.
“Date night my ass,” she mumbled as she left the room, Sam never the wiser.

I know these people. Thankfully they are not me.
Nice job, April.
Thankfully they are not me either.
Ha! All too familiar scene. Well described. I felt the disappointment and disgust.
Thank you!
