W calls around 5 and says she is stopping by to pick up kids bag. I said sure, it's at the front counter (as always).
I work late tonight - about 5:40.
I leave work, get in my car and start to drive home. W calls "Where are you, kids wanted to see you?"
Me - "What? I didn't know you had them with you."
W - "Oh that explains why you left."
Me - "No, I always leave at 5, just didn't expect you that's all."
W - "kids are hungry, I'm getting supper for them at the cafe.
Me - "Oh, well, let me turn the car around and I will join you."
We met, had dinner, kids gave me a big hug, told W all abuot our two weeks adventure and we ate. This was the first time we had supper together as a family in months. This was the first time W and I actually talked. I kept it light and breezy, told some funny stories about our trip, showed W some vacay photos on phone. I kept convo on kids and upcoming Doctor appointments.
Wife asked if I wanted to share her drink, I said "no thanks, I'm good." We used to always share drinks. She must have said that out of habit.
We got up, walked out together and that was that. Hugged kids, said bye to W and got into car.
Just so unexpected. I will try to not overthink it.
