Andy had been with the magazine since its inception and was one of the older staff members. Emily was used to thinking of him as an authority figure, but now she felt a need to support him as a counselor. She wasn't sure she was up to the task.
"Oh, what's goin' on, Andy?"
He attempted to shrug it off as unimportant, but she could detect pain in his face. "Oh, just some domestic trouble with Diane; it's no big deal. It's just, when I dropped by Little Nemo's to tell you all about Aggie and Brady and have a drink, it felt good. I haven't felt that good after work for a while. The kids mostly keep to themselves these days. Diane makes dinner, and we don't have much to say to each other until a fight breaks out, and then we go to bed. Usually mad at each other."
