Michael's analysis sounded logical.
And Wendy nodded in agreement.
Michael wrapped his arms around her and laid her back down on the bed.
Checking the time on the bedside clock, he noticed that it was past two in the morning.
Reaching out to pull the quilt over her, he urged, "Get some sleep. We'll talk again tomorrow."
Already very tired from working long hours on a continuous basis, Wendy was joyously pumped up at seeing Michael and the kids. And now, after the passionate tryst with Michael, she could barely keep her eyes open.
If Michael had not broached the subject of her excessive working hours, she would have been fast asleep by now.
In any case, she could rest a little easier now that they had talked about it.
Totally exhausted, she yawned and shut her eyes.
With Michael's hand resting lightly on her waist.
Very quickly, they fell into a deep sleep.
On the next day, Michael was roused by the alarm.
