It was Claude's birthday. Martha asked for leave to prepare a hearty meal for him.
Martha only remembered that she got up early in the morning and busies herself cooking in the kitchen. At breakfast, Martha said to Claude, "Honey, today is your birthday. Would you come back early? I'll cook a big dinner."
Claude looked hesitant and then smiled, "Maybe not. I have other priorities. My birthday is not very important. You've made me a good breakfast. Don't bother tonight. I may work late and not come back. Enjoy your food with Angela."
Martha frowned, but she had no doubts about his statement. "It's your birthday. You sure you're not coming back?"
Claude sighed, "I've got far too much work to do. I have no choice."
