Phone down. in So Far Away

I decided that I wouldn’t send my typical, “Good morning” text message.
I wanted to see if he would send me a message first, petty or not.
He did not send me a message until his lunch hour, and I decided not to respond right away.
His message read: “Hey, another busy day. I love you.”
Later, I felt this was a mistake on my part. I sent him a response, and it stayed on delivered.
My thoughts were that if I had responded when he messaged me, we could have had a conversation back and forth when he was available.
My response had been vague: “Love you too.”
I was uneasy, my mind was racing with “what ifs”.
Another night, I hadn’t heard anything from him.
Instead of sending messages or trying to call, I went to bed early.
I was afraid to look at my phone in the morning, for fear of disappointment.
There was two messages, one saying he had just gotten to his room with dinner.
One missed call from him after that message.
The other text was him saying good night.
I told him good morning, and I went for my morning jog.
He was coming home that day, so I went and got a mani/pedi.
I stopped and got a facial, and got a brazilian wax as well.
I bought a new dress that I wanted to surprise him with.
I dolled myself up, and I ordered take out from his favorite restaurant.
He got home 20 minutes after the food arrived, and he looked exhausted.
He greeted me with a kiss, and thanked me for ordering dinner.
We talked a little over dinner, and we both had a couple glasses of wine.
I was anticipating that the following days were a weekend, and I wanted some much needed time with my husband.
He didn’t check his phone once, he didn’t even look in its direction.
We didn’t clean up after dinner this time, we went straight to the bedroom after we ate… ;)
