"Where re you?"
"I ran into traffic."
"Didn't you get off almost an hour and a half ago?"
"I'm coming from the gym."
"What? So you won't be ready to go when you get here?"
"Look just go without me."
"Tom. The whole point of this was so we could spend time together."
"We do spend time together."
"Sitting in the same room while you fiddle on your computer and I read isn't spending time together."
"I'll meet you there. Go or you'll be late."
"Do you promise to be there?"
"I promise."
Joss wasn't thrilled with the way their date was going. Sure Thomas wasn't into country music anymore but it was a fair trade for going to one of his fancy company dinners. "I least was on time to that." Sighed Joss tucking her phone into the back pocket of her tight jeans. Walking thru the kitchen she grabbed her keys to her truck and left.
A large part of Joss expected Tom to not show so when she got the call three songs in with the first band she was a little late in answering because it was such a shock. "Thomas?"
"Every hillbilly hick crawled out of the woods for this. I shocked that there isn't a trailer in sight."
The comment stung in a way that Tom didn't seem to understand anymore. She considered herself to be just like the people here, hard work middle class folk just looking to have a good time. "Yeah well I really wanted to bring mine but it clashed with my boots."
"Oh don't get like that. You know if you got a real job-"
"I have a real job!" Joss stressed over the phone as she made her way to the front gate.
"I'm glad you think so."
There was a lot that she wanted to say but she pruned her lips and clamped her jaw. "Where are you." Joss' voice was firm and clipped with annoyance.
"Waiting for you." Tom moaned as if she hadn't been waiting for him to get home and he was the only one to do the waiting in their marriage.
"I see you."
