In A Hurry

The husband woke up very early today. In fact, it was a lot earlier than usual. As if his action is telling me, “I’m worried too, you’re not the only one.” Oh well, as if going to work earlier will ease up the anxiety.

It didn’t bother me at all that he left for work early. It was the very fast pace and walking around the bedroom at 100mph that got into my nerves. On a regular day, I normally don’t hear him till he is dressed up and already saying goodbye. Today was an exception and the seemingly harried pace was simply annoying. Throughout the course of the day, although we were both aware of what’s taking place on Wall Street, there was no mention about it at all on the phone.

It’s half past six and he hasn’t called to let me know he is leaving the office. Is it safe for me to assume it will be one of those long nights?
