the kitchen and prepare a meal

Your wife is delighted by the food, but during dinner, she seems to be absent with her thoughts.

"There seems to be something on your mind?" you ask her.

"... No, it's nothing." Lisa denies, "... i'm just tired."

"Honey, I know you are preoccupied about something..."

"Oh John, I don't think this is the time to discuss it. It's just... I want to go to bed."

You can't shake the feeling that there is something else going on, so you press on the issue "Honey, just tell me. What's wrong?"

"Ok..." She says and then she pauses a moment and takes a deep breath.
