"We'll both me and your mom are working a lot of overtime at the moment" he sighed "that's why your mom has been so tired"
 
She sighed. "But why do you need to work so much?" She hid a smirk.
 
"Because we need to pay the bills and the taxes and help you get through school. We want you to be the best you can be" he smiled at her "so one day you can get a good job and not have to spend so much time working to support your family"
 
She smiled. "All right." She hugged him and got up.
 
"You promise you'll try harder at school?" He looked up at her
 
"Good" he smiled "now let's go get dinner" suddenly his phone rang, another text coming in
 
"Who's that?" she asked, moving toward the door.
 
"It's no one" he smiled at her "you go down, tell your mother I will be down shortly"
 
He pulled out his phone and texted

You can't text me when I'm at home
 
Come and see for yourself.

"Dad!" Faith called from downstairs. "Dinner's getting cold!"
 
He frowned before running downstairs "I need to go...Michael needs me urgently at the office...apparently there might be a new job coming open"
 
Ruth looked up at him, her face clouded in worry, while Faith took the opportunity to scrape her plate into the garbage. "You'll miss your favorite show, though," she said. "How urgent is it?"
 
"It might see a wage rise" he sighed "I need to go"
 
She nodded. "Go get 'em," she said with a small smile.
 
He kissed her cheek before dashing out of his house and ran to the texters house
