It’s time for a Sunday afternoon story. Hope you enjoy First Home.

First Home by Allison Symes

I try to tick off one item from my daily To Do List. Usually life gets in the way though I thought I could tackle my most recent list which only had two items on it.

Firstly, finish the chocolate in the fridge. Secondly, replace chocolate.

What stopped me? Only remembering I had an appointment with the dentist that day. It pained me to think the chocolate must wait.

So I thought at least I could enjoy the chocolate later.

But it had gone.

Then I remembered. I married the dentist, didn’t I? He got home before me, didn’t he?
