What is the time loop trios day to day usually like
great question! i really enjoyed thinking about this while i did my chores today so thank you.
rowen is a househusband and usually gets up very early to start breakfast for the two of them, does some work in the garden, and cleans up around the house & works on little projects while cherie is out and about. cherie tends to get up a bit later than rowen and takes an hour or two getting ready for her day, depending on what she's got on. she'll have a lot to do outside of the house, meetings with her agent and lunch dates with friends & colleagues and little events she's scheduled to put in an appearance at. she's semi-retired but she keeps busy.
the day that obie lives over and over in the time loop is actually a fairly unusual day for cherie & rowen, not least of which because of the bug trying to deliver a toaster to them. it's a lazy weekend day, one that cherie insisted on the two of them having so that rowen can relax and take it easy. so he sleeps in much later than usual while cherie gets up early and putts around the house taking care of things, but she's easily distracted between different tasks and ends up bouncing between things in a kind of inefficient manner. obie memorizes this pattern after many, many, many loops.
so when he finally breaks the loop and decides to stay with the two of them, he gets confused a lot because they don't behave how they did before. he'll be running around messing with rowen's stuff because he thinks he's still going to be asleep for another couple hours, only to blink in the sudden light as rowen opens the door to the cabinet he snuck into and catches him. obie will prepare to cross a floor by pressing his back to a piece of furniture, counting one, two, three, and then darting across the room when he Knows for a Fact cherie is on the other side of the house, only for her to nearly trip over him because whoops she's actually right there. it's pretty disorienting for him for a while.
