Nick is heading home from a three-day work trip when he notices a sign calling him out in front of the entire town on the billboard of his wife’s diner.

Does it truly merit a sign in public, even though Nick is unsure of what he may have done? When he gets home, his wife tells him everything.I felt good about taking off my shoes at last and unwinding with some fried chicken as I made my way home from a three-day work trip.

My wife made the best fried chicken, and it was the one thing I had been yearning since moving out. As usual, the drive back to our small town was peaceful, and I was merely reviewing the tasks I needed to complete by the end of the weekend in my head.

I had to complete a project, set up a meeting with potential investors, and follow up with several junior employees who had performance reports coming up. I was walking past the diner at the time.

The Kate’s Diner, you know. It’s one of those small-town restaurants where the waitresses already know who you are and what you’re going to order when you walk in. My wife, Kate, owns the business and is well-known for her humorous writing on the large sign outside.Typically,

Something along the lines of “Best Burgers in Town, Babe!” or “We Dare You to Try Our Famous Pancakes!” or even “Today’s Waffles Are Half Priced, Sugar, Honey, Honey!” However, today? I nearly ran into a telephone pole today while looking at the sign’s message. I know what you did, Nick.

Kate once said, “Don’t bother coming home.”I thought I was having hallucinations as I stared at the sign for a moment before slamming on the brakes and nearly losing control of the vehicle. “Kate, what the hell?” I told myself. With my heart racing in my chest, I pulled over. What was Kate talking about? Had something occurred during my absence? As far as I was aware, I hadn’t done anything illegal.
