It's the Little Things

Main Bedroom Esther's House - Day (Early Morning)

Shane is standing next to the bed. The light from the hallway slants through the door and hits him at an angle illuminating his face while the rest of his body remains in shadow.

Shane

"Honey? It's time to wake up."

Esther slowly opens her eyes and looks towards the source of sound. She sees Shane standing above her.

Esther

"Huh?"

Shane

"I said it's time to wake up. It's 6:30."

Esther groans in disgust and rolls over, pushing her face into the pillow. A stifled whine comes from the direction of her head.

Shane

"I went grocery shopping."

Esther looks confused, and then a small smile forms on her face. She tries to hide the smile and turns to look at Shane.

Esther

"You did what?"

Shane

"I went grocery shopping."

Esther

"Uhm...you're weird."

Shane

"I got you lunch and dinner is already in the crockpot."

Esther

"What?"

Shane

"I said that I got you lunch - it's a sandwich from the deli at Kroger. It's good! And I already put dinner in the crockpot."

Esther

"Oh."

Esther pauses, frowns.

Esther (continues)

"But I don't get to have dinner tonight."

Shane

"Yes you do. There will be some left over when you get home tonight."

Esther

(begrudgingly)

"Yeah, at like midnight."

Shane stares at her in silence, a small smile on his face.

Esther

"Can I just have like 5 more minutes of sleep though?"

Shane steps over to the alarm clock and pushes a few buttons without saying a word. He turns to Esther.

Shane

"That's going to go off in 5 minutes."

Shane exits the room.
