Pt 3
Somehow she makes it thru her day; mundane tasks completed without a thought. Work serves as a relief from worries. But as her work day comes to a close, she begins to dread going home to an empty house. She decides to work some overtime at the end of her shift. But that, too, is short lived, and soon she's making her way toward home.
She stops by the store to buy dinner. As she walks thru the isles, wondering what she should make, feeling more alone than ever, she desides to just grab a tv dinner for the night... no sense in cooking for one, right?
She pays the clerk for her purchases, and gets back into the car. It feels odd, driving. She hasn't driven since he's come home. She loves watching him as he drives them around, her arm resting on his thigh. She knows it's silly, but she feels as tho, letting him drive her around, is showing him she trusts him with her life. For he could easily crash them, yet never does.
She makes it home and unlocks the door. Just as she walks in to the darkened room, the phone rings. A smile comes to her face. It's him! She can't run fast enough as she makes her way to the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hi darlin'"
"oh honey!! I've missed you so much!!"
Thus begins the best time of her day. Time spent with him;his voice washing over her and soothing her fears. She gets ready for bed, feeling completely safe now that he's on the phone with her.
They talk for hours, each unwilling to let the night end, each longing to hold the other. And as she lies down in bed and closes her eyes, she can imagine she's beside him, able to reach out and touch him as he talks to her. His words carry away her stress, completely relaxing her.
She falls into a sound sleep, feeling close to him. She dreams peacefully, the phone still held in her hand.
