Roman was finally coming home after his trip to Dubai, and I decided it was the perfect moment to share the important news with him. He had assured me he would return as soon as possible, but it was already nearing evening, and I had already had lunch. I placed another call, feeling the anticipation rise as I sipped some fresh juice, the TV show playing in the background.
After the third ring, his deep voice came through, "Hi wifey, I'm just checking out of the hotel."
I glanced out the window, noticing the sun dipping below the horizon. "You promised you'd come back early; it's almost night. I need to know when I'll see you again," I replied, my heart racing with anticipation.
"I know I said that," he admitted, a sigh escaping his lips. "We had to finalize the deal this afternoon, and I just got to the hotel to pack my luggage. I'm checking out now."
"Oh," was all I could manage.
"I promise I'm coming home tonight. Wait for me," he insisted.
