Let's just wait.

Jamie decided to wait. Ashley would be here soon and he wanted to get her thoughts on his new power.

Sure enough, she pulled into driveway a few minutes later. Looking confused, she got out of the car.

"What are you doing out here?"

He held out her shoes and makeup bag. "I know you hate being late, so I decided to wait for you out here." A thought occurred to him. "If you need to go inside and freshen up, don't worry about it. I'll keep the car running."

Ashley's mind immediately turned to suspicion. He most have done something pretty bad to be behaving like this. Still, they were running late. "No need. Get in."

As she moved back toward the driver's door, he stopped her. "You need to put on your shoes, right? And I know you're probably tired. Here, I'll drive."

Once again Ashley was caught off guard. Jamie hated driving her car. He complained that everything was adjusted wrong. He messed with all her settings to try to improve it but still whined about it. Sometimes he even changed her radio presets.

Today, though, he slid in and buckled up, only changing the angle of the rearview mirror for safety. As he started the car and backed out, she noticed that he hadn't even moved the seat back, despite it clearly being too far forward for comfort. He was a good 6" taller than her and he looked a little goofy crammed into the seat like that.

She was getting more and more suspicious. She decided to ask directly. "Jamie, what gives? Why are you acting like this?"

He glanced down, wondering if he should tell her about his weird episode. She'd think probably think he was crazy. Then again, he didn't want to keep secrets from his wife.
