Patrick arrived back at Cheryl’s suburban home to a very unpleasant surprise -- her husband had arrived home early from his business trip. He seemed friendly enough at first, but as the night went on, it got creepier.
He supposed the questions started out innocently enough. Her husband asked Patrick about why he hadn’t changed out of his work clothes, and Patrick had hoped he wouldn’t have to. He had planned to sleep in Cheryl’s clothes and go back to work the next morning wearing the exact same thing. With her husband around, that might be a more challenging plan. Then he started to get all handsy; it was making Patrick very uncomfortable, even as he kept telling himself that this guy just thought he was being friendly with his wife.
Patrick began to wonder if he should tell Cheryl’s husband what was up. Sure, it would ruin everyone’s bonus, but someone else was likely to fess up as well, right? He wouldn’t be the only one? And even if he was, the cost might be worth it to get this guy’s hands off of him.
