The kids are in bed. A fire flickers in the woodstove. A couple is on the sofa, husband reclined with head in wife’s lap. Wife runs fingers through his hair.

Wife: I guess I like the new haircut. It was just hard to see, you know, because it was already so short.
Husband: Mmm.
Wife: It’s nice to get a haircut now and then.
Husband: Mmm.
Wife: Do you still have any of that hair growth tonic I gave you?
Husband: Honey…
Wife [who works in marketing]: No, it’s still plenty thick. I just mean, it’s probably the tonic that keeps it thick, you know?
Husband: Sigh.
