Zac looked up as the front door opened, and Julie came staggering in.
"Julie," Zac frowned at her.
"Oh, hey Zac," Julie said cheerfully, then frowned. "You're not waiting up for me, are you?"
"No I normally stay up until two in the morning," Zac replied sarcastically.
"Aww, so sweet, but I'm bushed, really. I don't think I could go another round tonight," Julie yawned.
Zac sighed.
"Julie this isn't good."
"Well, I did offer before and you turned me down. So I had to go elsewhere," Julie informed him as he guided her to her bedroom.
"Julie you are hardly ever home any more. Your kids have even noticed your lack of presence. You're neglecting them, and your business. This can't continue."
"That's where you're wrong," Julie said, glaring at him as she stood crookedly in the doorway of her bedroom. "It's can go on for as long as I want it too. You're not my dad."
Zac shook his head.
"Go to bed. Have a good night's sleep. And try to spend some time with your kids tomorrow, okay?"
