Owen was grazing in the fridge for food while Julianna put the twins to bed. She returned asking about his trip. He shrugged and closed the refrigerator. “It was a business trip. I didn’t get to enjoy it really.” He bent down to open a drawer where a fair collection of wine was stored. “Take your pick. Help yourself to anything you’d like. I’m going to go kiss those babies really quick.”
He left her long enough to sneak into the twin’s nursery and press a kiss to each of their sleeping foreheads. He made sure the monitor was turned up enough and then left the room and shut the door closed quietly behind him.
When Owen returned to the kitchen he had a satisfied smile on his face. “They are so cute when they’re sleeping.” He gushed full of fatherly love at the moment.
Owen refilled his wine glass and flipped open his iPad to check emails and notifications while they chatted. “I’m the CEO and founder of Locum Technologies, if you didn’t know. We’re working on a reusable rocket right now. And anyways, I went to beg this physicist to come work for me. He’s very determined to stay a professor at Carnegie Mellon, but he did promise to come over and tour our facilities. So hopefully I can woo him.” Owen smiled and shrugged again, “So that was my trip.”
He glanced back at the screen, squinted for a second, and then burst out laughing. “Oh my god! Look at this!” Owen turned the iPad to show Julianna an Amazon listing for animal onesies for infants. “Could you imagine the twins in these?!” His voice pitched higher and faded into a strong German accent in his excitement.
He pulled the iPad away, “Wait wait wait. Let’s go get comfortable. I can tell scrolling through all these is going to take a while.” Owen lead the way to the couch and plopped down with his glass of wine and iPad. He seemed to fully expect that Julianna follow and join him.
It didn’t occur to him that this nanny would perhaps find it strange that her boss wanted to hang out, but he was a little bit tipsy and forgot conventions.
