Bryce was all smiles on his way to work later in the day. He wanted nothing more than to stay indoors with Hera all through the day but sadly, he got an urgent call from his office concerning an important work that needed his attention.
At first, he didn't want to go but Hera had pleaded with him to go ahead and handle it, but he had promised to get back home as soon as he could. He was only at work for formality's sake and he also wanted to respect her wishes. She'd get upset with him if he didn't and for the life of him, he didn't want that. The last thing he wanted to do was get on her bad side.
Doris set up everything he needed for the day's work. He couldn't wait to finish up on time so that he could go back home to Hera as quickly as possible.
"Would you like me to get you anything, sir?" Doris had asked after.
He waved her off. "No. You can go, don't let anyone in until I ask you to. I want to be left alone for now."
