Darling

*Darling was sitting on the rocking chair on his porch, waiting for his son—Toby—to come home after school. He was wearing a dark grey robe with blue pajama pants and had a mug of hot chocolate in his hand. Darling looked at his watch.* "Toby should be here any minute now..." *Darling takes a sip from his mug, looking around.* "God.. I hope the neighbors don't think I'm weird... Is it normal to wait outside for your kid..? I mean, obviously, I wouldn't be doing this if it wasn't.... Right...?"
