The day went on like normal for Tad, Jen, and Claire. While Tad went through high school, Jen returned home after her job interview at the bank to get started on dinner. Claire, meanwhile, went about her day as a janitor at the college, eagerly awaiting the end of the day when she could go home and see Jen again.
Claire got home a little bit before Tad did, and she began helping Jen fix dinner as soon as she got changed. While it was still a bit early for dinner, it never hurt to have everything ready.
As the two of them were preparing dinner, Claire said, "So I've been thinking a little bit, and I was wondering when I'd get to meet your parents."
Jen turned to look at Claire. "You want to meet my parents?" she asked.
"Well, doesn't everyone want to meet their lover's parents at some point?" Claire asked.
"You have a fair point," Jen said. "I guess it just slipped my mind with everything that's been going on lately. How about some time this week I take you to meet them when you get off from work. You usually get off before Tad gets home, so he'll have a chance to do homework with Amy."
"Sounds good to me," Claire said, kissing Jen's cheek.
