Pulling into the driveway, Chris noticed the upstairs Den light on.  He wondered why April would be up this late, surely she went to bed already and must have left the light on he thought to himself.  He fumbled for the house key on his key chain and climbed the porch steps, unlocking the door and closing it softly behind him, not wanting to wake April.  He took his shoes off and left them by the door, tossing his keys on the dining room table as he felt his way gingerly along the wall till he grasped the rail and climbed the stairs.<br/><br/>He reached his hand inside the Den room and flicked off the light, and was startled to see April still up at the computer desk.  "Holy shit babe, I thought you were asleep.  You scared the crap out of me!" he said feeling a bolt of adrenaline and fear flash through his body. he leaned against the door, eyes closed for a second catching his breath.   "What are you doing up so late?  Shouldn't you be getting your beauty rest for our special dinner tomorrow?" he grinned and blew her a kiss.  Lookind down at his watch, then yawning..."its close to 1 AM, Hun, I don't know about you but I'm exhausted.....I'm going to bed, you coming?"  he waited a second for her answer and continued the conversation as he walked down the hall into the bedroom to brush his teeth and change into his sleep wear.
