Home Sweet Home

The ride home, although beset by the normal heavy traffic, was uneventful. Walt rode as a passenger in his own SUV, which felt a little odd. Barbara drove, and Walt rode shotgun, with {middle_nickname} and {youngest_nickname} behind them. Barbara had talk radio left on from her previous driving, and Walt gazed out the window or windshield while listening with interest. {youngest_nickname} flipped through one of her magazines while {middle_nickname} had her earbuds in and was enjoying her music.

The four piled out of the SUV after Barbara had parked outside the house, and each entered through the front door. The girls moved more quickly and entered the home first, and Barbara assisted Walt over the walkway and threshold into the foyer, then they dispersed to their own personal destinations.

{middle_nickname} went to her room and began talking to a girlfriend and listening to music. {youngest_nickname} went briefly to her room, changed into her swimming bikini, and made her way to the pool in the backyard. Barbara made her way into the kitchen to begin preparing that evening's dinner.
