The Long Day
Newt has had a shitty day at work and takes it out on his family. Arguments and angst ensue. In the end, however, it only serves to bring them closer together. All the Newtina family feels.
“I do want to be with you!” Newt insists. It dawns on him too late that he hasn’t been showing it.
“Really? Because all you’ve been doing is coming home when you would clearly rather be at work, either staying up until long after I go to bed or going to sleep right after dinner, and you haven’t even read to the kids in weeks.”
“I love you,” Newt says quietly.
“Yes,” Tina says through her tears, “but sometimes that’s not enough.”
