Chapter 5 -- Routine
Harry got home from work in the late middle of the afternoon, just an hour or two before the sun went down. He made his way inside his house and closed the door behind him without locking it. Harry and Chloe live in a fairly rural area so there really isn't much need for locks. Their nearest neighbor is about a five-minute walk from their house. Not too far, but certainly far enough.
He made his way to the kitchen and washed away the workday from his hands before rummaging through the freezer to find something for dinner. He ended up grabbing a frozen lasagna and throwing it in the oven. It wasn't great, but it wasn't terrible either and it would feed him and his daughter.
After getting dinner started he made his way to his bedroom, sat down on the foot of his bed, and began to slowly unlace his work boots. Once his feet were finally free he laid back on his bed and took a moment to relax. He knew this was going to be his only chance to relax tonight so he savored it.
After several minutes of letting his body rest, he sighed then got up and started stripping in his bedroom. Soon enough Harry was naked. He didn't bother to check himself in a mirror at all, he knew well enough what he looked like. Old but not too old, fat but not too fat, strong but not too strong. He left his dirty work clothes in a pile on his floor while he made his way to the master bathroom attached to his bedroom and took a shower to finish washing away the grime from his work day.
Only about 10 minutes after Harry stepped into the shower he was already finished cleaning himself. He grabbed a towel and quickly patted himself mostly dry then wandered back into his bedroom, found some clean boxer shorts to wear, and then sat down at his computer desk. With a sigh, he hit the power button and waited a few minutes for it to boot up wondering what he would see this time.
