Thomas was feeling a little conflicted when he got home and he was glad that the kids were out with Spectre so he could take some time to figure out where he stood. He headed immediately into the kitchen the second he stepped through the door, because he needed coffee. "STEPHIE?!" he called, wondering if she was home, or she had stepped out for a while. "Stephie, I'm home and making coffee!"
He was answered by Coco rushing through the dog door from the backyard, and bounding into the kitchen, her tail wagging madly. "Well hello to you too, Madam!" Thomas grinned, leaning down to kiss the doberman between her eyes.
