Barbara Watching TV

Dave let out a nervous sigh as he sat in his car. The garage door growled as it closed behind him. "Well I guess this is the moment of truth..." Dave's eyes were transfixed on the door that led into his condo. "Fuck it..." Dave mumbled as he got out of his car. Leaving his groceries behind Dave checked the door to see if it was still locked. Clank. Clank. The door handle didn't budge. "Okay that's good..." Dave slid the key in the door handle and let himself it.

As Dave stepped into the condo he could hear the sound of the TV playing. "Barbara?" Dave asked as he closed the door.

"Yes?" Barbara's voice could be heard from the living room.

"Holy shit... She's still here..." Dave thought as he walked into his living room to see Barbara still laying on the couch wrapped up in a blanket. "Hey..." Dave said as he stood there in a bit of shock. He still couldn't wrap his mind around the events of today.

"Welcome back!" Barbara smiled and waved at Dave. "I did as you said and I did not leave. I stayed here and watched the TV." She glanced at the TV and then back to Dave. "I made it through 8 episodes. This one is number 9." Dave look over at the TV to see the debate team episode playing.

"Good..." Dave awkwardly paused. He wasn't really sure how he should respond to her. "Well I'm going to bring in my groceries..."

"I can help!" Barbara interjected.

"No... No I can get them. Plus you still don't have clothes..." Dave motioned for her to stay put. "Just let me bring them in and we can figure out what to do with you."

"Okay! I will continue to watch Jeff and Annie." Barbara turned back to the TV. With Barbara focused on the TV Dave set off to unload his groceries.
