Your wife's new dress

Morning comes too soon and you find yourself and your wife playing out the same routine. She's already up as usual and you say good morning shortly before you jump in the shower, where you wash off any remnants of the night before. You both get coffee and breakfast downstairs after you've cleaned and changed. Just before you both head out the door, you kiss her goodbye.

At work, your boss comments on the uncompleted tasks from yesterday. You assure him you'll have them finished today, but he still assigns some new work on top. You work hard until lunch time, even though your mind constantly turns towards where you're going to take Kali, and how you might still impress her on a budget. You resist the urge to look up restaurants and hotels and focus on your job.

You decide to take a quick lunch and get back to work sooner. By halving your break time you figure you can get your tasks finished sooner and research later when your day is done. However, just as you get back to your chair, your phone pings with a message.

Since it might be Ariana, you hurriedly check the message, but instead of your wife, it's from your best friend. You're ready to ignore it, but you see the message preview says

"ur wifes nu dress..."

A cold sweat runs through your body and you open the message.

Matt: ur wifes nu dress lks amazing!!
