     Kim knew tonight was special, so she cooked her husband a nice dinner. She knew he had been working lots of overtime in the last couple months so they could afford nice things. Despite all the late night phone calls from his boss and the lengthy business trips, she always stood by him and his work. She knew that his paycheck did not come easy, and she didn’t want to be one of those wives who made her husband choose his career over her. She’d probably lose that battle, so Kim waited patiently for her husband to get home from his recent trip and surprise him with a nice homemade dinner.
    
   When her husband got home, he complements Kim on her appearance and told her she was sexy like he always does. Then, she sits him down and gives him his plate of lemon chicken with rice and summer squash. When Kim sat down, she did not take a bite of her food, but instead she looks at him with a passionate gaze as he gasps and holds his throat. Then, He goes limp as his face falls flat into the plate of food.
Kim smiles at the scene. She gets up from her place at the table and walks over to her husband’s coat, and then she pulls out her husband’s cellphone to check the latest text messages. She finds the one labeled “boss”. She reads the messages sent between them since she found them two weeks ago. The new messages read…

Husband: I can’t wait for the weekend to have you in my arms…..
Boss: Great, I look forward to our “business trip”. I’ll send the wife flowers in your name for your 10 anniversary. It should smooth things over with her like always. Ttyl, sexy.

      Kim opens a new message to respond. She types, “Wife had to be with family due to emergency, let’s take advantage of her absence. Just come in, Door will be unlocked. ” She only had to wait two minutes for a response back.

Boss: Great! On my way then.
Husband: Wonderful…..I got a special surprise waiting for you!!!
