#Chapter 37: Late Again
Abby
The once golden glow of the candles seems dull now. The shadows in the room stretch longer, a stark
contrast to the beautifully set table, pristine and untouched. The wine, once poured with anticipation,
sits still, a silent witness to my growing anxiety. The aroma of the truffle oil, once intoxicating, now only
serves as a bitter reminder of the love I had poured into preparing for this evening.
The clock on the wall seems to mock me with its relentless ticking, each second stretching into an
eternity. My phone lays idle beside me, and the absence of a call or message from Adam weighs
heavily on my heart.
Trying to ward off the budding dread, I take a deep breath and dial his number. “Maybe he’s stuck in
traffic or something,” I think to myself. “Or, g od forbid, he got into an accident.”
After dialing his number, I hold my phone up to my ear with a shaky hand. The soft hum of the ringtone
echoes in the silence.

laughter, the unmistakable hustle and bustle of his restaurant.
My stomach sinks. He’s working. I should have known better.
“Adam?” My voice quivers slightly.

supposed to be here over an hour ago!”
“Oh…right. About that,” he starts, his voice hurried and distracted. “Look, Abby, I got swamped here.
Thought maybe you wouldn’t mind if I sat this one out. You know, have dinner by yourself? You can
save me some leftovers for tomorrow, right?”
Tears pr ick at my eyes, and I feel a twinge of anger. “This wasn’t just about the food, Adam! It was
