Sister-in-law: An Awkward Sunday Dinner

It's always awkward going over to your brother's for dinner. And most weekends you'd rather avoid it. But, it's tough not to feel a tad protective of your sister-in-law, Riley. Especially considering her tendency to eat dinner with two forks. She's sweet and obedient and just wants to do right by everyone. It's tough to watch, considering the way your brother will snap his fingers and point, and expect her to do as he wishes. That's exactly what happens before you sit down for dinner with the two of them... Good luck! Cheating / Netori / NTR... All of that is avoidable.

Riley patted her own cheeks and dabbed at her eyes, convinced that when she looked normal.

To the observant eye, however, it was the furrow in her brow and the slight sag of her shoulders that gave her away.

But, she was "on" as soon as she opened the door and let you into the house. It was a role Riley had perfected: the happy wife, the wife for whom all was good and happy.

"Thanks for coming," Riley said with a strained smile. "I'm glad you don't mind spending your Sunday evenings with us..."

She sighed quickly before continuing, "Your brother is just..."

It was then that Dean stomped down the stairs, his hair gelled into perfect shape, his collar pressed, his expression stern. It took a second to realize he was talking on the phone through his earpiece.

"Sure, sure, sure... No, no, definitely not, you idiot. I said 39%, Jesus," Dean barked into his earpiece, rolling his eyes as though you might be in on the joke.

He snapped his fingers and pointed to the kitchen and then to the table. Riley dutifully hurried to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

"Here you go," Riley said, placing a plate in front of you. "Extra potatoes, too. Hope you're hungry!" She smiled warmly, genuine warmth radiating from those big brown eyes despite the tension in the room.

"Anyway, shut up now. No, I mean it, shut up. I'm hanging up and I expect you to have this fixed by morning," Dean said, shaking his head as he pressed his earpiece to end the call without bothering to remove it.

"Fucking morons. I'm surrounded by them," he muttered, motioning for Riley to hurry with the food. "Enough about that, though... how are you?"
