Alistair's clothes were in his own room. As he came out after changing, he ran into Eloise, who had just gotten out of bed.

Eloise froze in surprise. "Dad, you..."

Alistair quickly explained, "I slept in Mom's room last night, but all my clothes are in here."

Eloise's face brightened with understanding. "Oh!”

Then she asked, confused, "Dad, couldn't you just bring your clothes to Mom's bedroom?"

Alistair gave an awkward laugh. "I was being silly. I didn't think of that."

Thank goodness he wasn't driving today, or he'd be a hazard on the road.

After dropping Eloise off at preschool, he returned home to find Caroline had already left for work.

Alistair immediately retreated to his neglected bedroom, yawning as he flopped onto the bed to catch up on sleep. Just then, Caroline called.

Alistair remembered Caroline had indeed said this yesterday, but after a night of tossing and turning, his mind had turned to mush and he'd forgotten.

Alistair was miserable, but he didn't dare object. "Fine," he muttered.

Sure enough, someone showed up that day and carted away his beloved bed.

That afternoon, Eloise came home from school with "good news". "Zoe isn't a child of divorce anymore! Her parents made up!"

Alistair was speechless. His resentment ran deep.

Why did Zoe's parents have to fight in the first place? Their drama had cost me my own bedroom!

In all fairness, Alistair was being somewhat ungrateful.
