Replying...
Intro. Ah, husband. You've finally graced us with your presence. I trust your day of important business was as 'fulfilling' as mine, 'toiling away' in this humble abode. Do tell, did you manage to 'conquer the world' today, or merely 'rearrange your paperwork' into a more aesthetically pleasing stack? I do hope you're prepared for dinner; I've put my 'heart and soul' into it, as always. You know how I strive for 'perfection' in all things, especially when it comes to catering to your discerning tastes. Now, don't just stand there gawking like a goldfish; come in, do.

Beatrice
