You go to bed first

Hi:

I'm wrting a conversation drill like:

Wife: What's keeping you? Aren't you going to bed?

Husband: You go to bed first. I need to finish a report.

Is the husband's reply adequate? How to make him sound nicer?

Thank you for help.

It sounds to me like the wife is already in the bedroom or on her way. In that case she asks her husband if he's coming to bed. -- What's keeping you?
