Brendan watched Reuben and Maximus play cards. His eyes never looked in Naomi’s direction, nor did he pay attention to her.

Naomi passed her phone to the children so they could play a game on it. When she got up and headed to the pantry for something to eat, Heather followed her hurriedly.

“Mom,” Naomi greeted her when she saw Heather come over.

“Naomi, have you and Brendan gotten into a fight?” Heather was a direct woman. She breached the topic right away without beating around the bush.

Naomi smiled and replied, “Who doesn’t argue from time to time?”

Heather had known for a long time that Naomi was the type of person to only describe her joys and hide her unhappiness.

She didn’t wait for Naomi to speak. “I could tell you guys were arguing because you didn’t come in together.”

She then asked Naomi, “What’s going on with your plans to have a kid? There would be a lot less friction between you and Brendan if you had a child. Sometimes, children are the lubricant between couples.”
