This was a fun read. :) All three "ways" were great, but I loved the second part especially.

Favorite part:

>> He knows something’s not right the moment he steps in the door. For one, the TV’s on but there’s no one watching it. Not entirely a sign of something amiss, only there’re no sounds of screaming or furniture being knocked over coming from the boys’ bedroom, only soft lilting sounds of happy.

LOL because I have two little girls, and silence or utter happiness (i.e. lack of yelling and fighting) is often my first clue that they’re being naughty. So I could totally identify with this.

Thanks again for a great read!
