It was 6 pm. Judy impatiently opened her laptop for her Skype date with Peter. This had become a routine affair for the love birds. In the last four months, they hadn’t missed even a single day without talking to each other.
That’s why Judy was shocked when Peter didn’t show up that day. He could be in the washroom or on a call with his parents, Judy wondered. An hour passed by and there was still no sign of Peter. Judy was concerned. She called his number but it was switched off. Leaning forward in her chair, while staring blankly at her phone screen, Judy desperately waited to hear back from him.
Another hour passed by and Peter’s phone was still off. Worried sick, Judy frantically dropped him a few texts, hoping to receive a response. The evening turned into night and Judy still had no idea about Peter’s whereabouts. It was 10.30 pm when Peter finally responded. “Can’t talk to you now. Later!” Peter’s message read. She didn’t expect that text after worrying about him for hours.
Judy was furious. She didn’t know what to say. He could have at least apologised? And here I was thinking that something went wrong. I think I gave him too much credit for being a considerate boyfriend, Judy’s thoughts were running wild.
