Huh
Share

“Oh, yeah, I forgot to tell you, Tiffany Prost is gonna stay over Thursday night next week.” Robert sat at the dining table drinking coffee.

“Tiffany, your ex-girlfriend?” Laura looked up from her cereal.

“Yeah. She’s doing this cross-country, new wave, couch-surfing thing. She’s passing through and asked if we could put her up for the night.”

“When did you arrange this?”

“I don’t know. A few days ago, I think.”

“When were you gonna tell me about this?”

“I’m telling you now.”

“Huh.” Laura raised an eyebrow and returned to breakfast.

“What is ‘huh’ suppose to mean?”

“Oh, just huh.”

    Another unexpected ending in today’s offerings. I’m betting that Laura will have plenty more to say!
