I looked at him.
“Boring?”
“You know what I mean. We do the same things every week. Dinner, television, sleep, work. We barely do anything exciting anymore.”
I smiled.
“Well, we could take a vacation. Maybe visit somewhere we haven’t been.”
He shook his head.
“I’m talking about something different.”
There was something in his expression I couldn’t understand. He looked nervous, but underneath that nervousness was an excitement I hadn’t seen in him for years.
“What are you talking about, Sean?”
He leaned forward.
“What if we tried something unconventional?”
“Like what?”
“What if we swapped partners with Nancy and Alex for one week?”
For several seconds, I honestly thought I had misheard him.
“Excuse me?”
“You heard me.”
“You want me to live with Alex while you live with Nancy?”
“Just for a week.”
I stared at him, waiting for him to laugh.
He didn’t.
“Have you completely lost your mind?” I asked.
