in lieu of a drabble...
Nov. 14th, 2007 10:28 pmShe thought about calling in sick that afternoon, but decided against it at the last second. If she stayed home she'd spend the whole day worrying and pacing - and really she wasn't the most graceful pacer.
Instead she went to work, it was another frustrating day, but the usual annoyances and frustrations were all undercut with the knowledge that something better lay in store for the weekend. Just a few more hours and everything would be right.
Her mind was racing the entire day, even when she would normally be so busy that she could forget her own name, but there was still that undercurrent to every thing that kept whispering a reminder in her ear.
And then the time came, the day was over and she clocked out and got into her car to go home. She took a long shower, standing beneath the spray trying to wash away all her nerves and worries.
She took her time getting dressed and blow drying her hair, making sure everything was right - and then she got the call.
His voice.
She pressed her lips together and walked out the door taking one last deep breath before she got into her car and drove to the hotel. And when she saw him there standing in the lobby, waiting for her - it was all gone - all the worries and fears and anxieties.
She walked straight into his arms and knew this was right, this was home, this was love.
