Apt. 584, Late Afternoon, Joe, Adam, and Icene
Icene had had to work, bless her, so the McClarens were left to their own devices for the bulk of the morning and afternoon. They'd exchanged a couple gifts (the rest they decided to save until Icene got home) and were now settled on the couch doing the one thing they could both agree on: watching the copy of District 9 that Adam had gotten for Joe.
"We should probably at least start thinking about dinner," Joe said at one point during a break in the action. "That way it'll be ready, or near ready, when Icene gets home."
"It's just chicken," Adam shrugged. "Won't take too long."
Joe started to nod then looked over at him, brow furrowed in confusion. "Chicken?"
"Chicken," Adam repeated, matter of fact.
A moment of silence passed, broken only by the gunfire on the TV, in which Joe continued to stare at Adam.
"What?" the younger asked. "We always have ham. Or turkey. I thought something different might be nice."
