She was asleep in the area that she and Joe shared for the moment. It seemed that she was awfully tired that day, but she had been working to help keep the household in order to free up some of her mother in law's time so she could focus on other things. The sound of music penetrated into her sleepy mind and her eyes fluttered open before she sighed and stretched. She pulled her frock back over her underthings, making herself right, before quietly walking toward the muffled sound of a male voice.

She peaked into the kitchen and then gave pause. Oh shit, she thought when she caught sight of the older man. She turned on heel, but the floor creaked under her weight more loudly than she had hoped any would. She winced. Maybe he wouldn't notice her, she thought as she started to try and get back out of sight before being spotted.
