Widowhood
100 Word Drabble - by Lady Lark
~*~
“How long are you going to be down there tonight, honey!”  She called, forcing a cheerful note into her tone. 
 “I don't know, dear.  I still have a lot to do.  You know, Dr. Gero's work was really fascinating.  A bit destructive for my tastes, but still quite ingenious.”
 “That's nice, dear.  Do you want me to wait up?”
 “No.  No, you go on to bed.  I'll probably sleep down here tonight so I don't disturb your beauty rest.”
 She sighed, another night alone.  She picked up her romance novel and started reading.  Kami, she hated being an invention widow.

Challenge: All Through the Night
AN: Yes, this is a Mrs. Briefs piece.  Just imagine being married to the guy who wouldn't let Goku leave to go to Namek because the stereo system wasn't quite ready.  And just like there are football widows - I wanted to show what it would be like to be married to a brilliant yet socially inept scientist.
