She glanced at her phone and huffed, disappointed she hadn’t heard from him all day. He had been gone when she woke up and he had not called on his lunch break or even sent a text throughout the day. She had cleaned the living room, bathroom, washed the dishes, and folded all the laundry in the house to deter her thoughts from him with no avail. After binge watched several episodes of The Big Bang Theory, she fell asleep on the couch wearing his hoodie.
She was awoken by the sound of a plant falling over, courtesy of her new kitten. Wiping the sleep from her eyes, she quickly glances at her phone and gasps in surprise at the time. He should be walking in the door at any moment and she wasn’t even ready. She ran through the living room to her bedroom, snatching her collar from the dresser and clasping it on her neck. Just as she heard keys jingling as he unlocked the door, she threw his hoodie over her head and as it fell on the floor beside the couch, she sank to her knees and lowered her head.
