She must have gone out

You look around downstairs, calling out her name a few times. Nothing. Then you spy a note on the dining table. You were probably avoiding looking at it because you came all over it last night. You pick up the note and read it.

Hi honey! I'm out for the day. I'm meeting up with a couple of friends and should be back in the afternoon. Make yourself at home. There's some leftover pasta in the fridge. If you want to go out I've left you a key. Just make sure the door is closed behind you.

You're relieved. You don't have to have the conversation right away. You look around the empty house, wondering what to do with your day.
