Was he a little impatient (and a lot pessimistic) or was his lover very, very late?

That was very emotional and even after the happy ending I remembered the time (before cell phones in our lives) when my husband didn't come home.

And then he did. He'd been trying to help an old guy on the side of the road with a flat tire. I was relieved but also pretty angry and then guilty that I was angry because he had been trying to help someone in need.

I really like the tembling smile but because you don't shed worry and heartache and disappointment and loss in just a moment even if there was a misunderstanding.

I like not knowing; it could be a very minor event but to him it meant the world.

Yes, I'm not so chained to mobile tech that I don't know that feeling.

I remember having to walk home after a night shift because he'd slept late, how long do you wait before you give up hope? and then him not answering the phone had worry war with the tirdeness and miffed-anger and that horrible feeling of abandonment; and finding I'd left my card at home so didn't have enough money for a bus and he might not be home so I daren't risk a taxi, so something over an hour and a half walk home in bad weather and cheap shoes (they had to be binned) - to discover him sleeping soundly...
A little thing, but your mind does somersaults.

Yep, it takes time for emotions to settle :)

wow - that was so strongly written. The moment could have been big or small, but to him it was huge.

Yes, it could be quite minor but to him it was everything, I hoped that would come across.

Wonderful! Very powerful and emotional.
