A workday between us

19:44 and the days are getting noticeably shorter. I stopped reading five minutes ago and been looking outside the room of my girlfriend’s room. Kids are playing near a school, the streets are mildly busy with people rushing home. Looking at my phone I’m somehow getting worried. I know my girlfriend has to work late, but it’s already later than that. I want to call her and ask if she’s alright. Maybe she is already strolling along the river right now, I am reassuring myself, relaxing from a busy workday.

Should I really call her? Would it be silly to just check on her? Maybe I’ll sound to much like a control-freak? Only a workday between us, and I miss her!

Almost 20:00, I call her: she is OK and will be home in like half an hour. Life’s good!
