Hypothetical Question

After the close of work, Tom was very reluctant to go back home, knowing that Lucy wouldn't be there waiting for him.

He sat in his car for a couple of minutes trying to make up his mind on how best to while away his time before going home to sleep, and after thinking for a moment, he headed for Harry's place, trusting that Harry would be home since he had gone to pick up Candace and Andy, and if they weren't home, he would make himself at home until Harry gets back from wherever he went.

As he drove, he dialed Bryan's line, "Why can't you keep your woman happy? Why do I have to be the one paying for your inability to keep your fiancee happy?" Tom asked with a scowl the moment the call connected.

"What are you talking about? What did she do to you? And who says I can't keep her happy?" Bryan asked with a slight frown.

"Don't tell me you don't know that Lucy will be spending the next couple of days at your place," Tom said, and Bryan shook his head.
