For the first time in a long time, Jonah was not looking forward to the end of his workday.

Usually, going home meant a little workout on the treadmill before dinner preparation. Quentin would soon be home with a fresh bottle of wine, rolling up his sleeves to help with the cooking. Before long, they’d be sharing a delicious meal together, followed by their favorite TV show. Then they’d spend some quiet time reading or playing cards, before finally hopping off to bed for some fun and relaxation.

It was a nice routine. Jonah liked nice routines.
