When he got home with his little pack of two, Linda and Suzy were gone. For a moment he thought the worst. Then he remembered it was Sunday. The two of them were probably swimming at the indoor pool at the community centre. Linda liked to swim on her days off, to relieve the stress of her nursing job. Tribb thought back to when he and Linda first got married. Sometimes they went swimming together. In those days, Linda looked so beautiful in her swim suit, the sight of her made Tribb grin. Then, after Suzy was born, swimming was just a thing they did as parents. It was a way to entertain their toddler and get her tired enough to sleep through the night. Tribb figured that’s when he stopped noticing how Linda looked in her swim suit. Not because she didn’t look good, but because he was a dad now. He thought he should be paying attention to other things. Here and now, in the kitchen, Tribb started to think that maybe he’d made a mistake. Something told him he’d been dumb not to enjoy seeing his wife in a swim suit.
