Claudia Raynes sits at the dining room table, and sets her backpack on the floor.  “Dad’s coming home tonight?” she asks.

Her Mom, Anna, picks up her cell.  “His plane should be landing in ninety minutes.”

“Too bad I can’t stay home from school to see him.  Is he going into work today?”

Anna shakes her head.  “He promised he wouldn’t go in until tomorrow.  Unless a huge crisis comes up.”
