This is the 2nd chapter of the adventures of a 1950s housewife.
It'll probably make more sense if you read the first part, but each chapter is fairly self contained.
I'd love to read any feedback you may have after you've read it

Late Night Traffic
It had been a very busy week. Michael had worked overtime every night and Jane had spent most of the week preparing for their weekend trip to her cousin's wedding.
The wedding had been beautiful, and the reception was a wonderful celebration that had gone on late into the night.
Of course that meant both Michael and Jane had slept in Sunday morning, and hadn't left the hotel till mid-afternoon, which lead them to getting stuck in evening traffic.
"At this rate it'll be after 10 before we get home!" Jane complained, as she looked at all the cars not moving ahead of them.
"If we're lucky" Michael agreed.
"When we get home, remind me to feed that cat before we turn in. I'll be so exhausted I might not remember." she asked him
"If you think you'll be that tired when we get home, maybe you should take care of things now." he suggested.
"Things?" she asked, not knowing what he was talking about.
"Jane dear, it's Sunday. And you still haven't taken care of your wifely duties this week." he told her
"Micheal J Smith, are you suggesting I, I, take care of things here? In the car!?" she asked, shocked.
"I'm not suggesting anything, I'm simply pointing out that if you're going to be too tired later, that now is an option." he explained
"I will do no such thing." she informed him curtly.
"Fine, but I'm not sure why you are making such a big deal out of this." he responded.
