Darren’s Dilemma


                                                               
“This is just what we wanted. It’s perfect for us. The backyard is huge and the walking trails are two minutes away.” Jane was so excited; her husband, Darren wasn’t.
“Honey, it’s so far from my office, and the living room is so small. You wanted a fireplace too.”
“That’s true.” Jane looked deflated.
“Look, let’s sleep on it.  Tomorrow’s another day. We still have two more houses to visit.
Darren woke up refreshed, but Jane never got out of bed. What he did that night was hard, but telling Jane he had lost his job would have been even harder.
