Mackie and Vernon finished their breakfast and went to their respective bedroom simultaneously. Vernon wore his suit, and Mackie checked her homework to ensure she didn't miss any of them.
They returned to the living room, ready to start the day, "I'm going now, see you at dinner, Mommy!"
"Don't forget that you have a theater practice after school, okay?"
"Yeah!"
Vernon kissed his wife's lips and asked, "So, any activity today?"
"I'm going to meet with Kate and her children in the morning, as usual," Chloe replied. "Then I will bring your lunch at noon. I'll bring Cedric and Val with me."
"That's good. Maybe we can set up a family vacation together with them later," Vernon said.
"We can think about that later. You should go now. You have an important meeting today, right?"
"Yeah, but don't worry, your husband will be able to handle everything… as long as you give me a kiss," Vernon said.
