Hours, minutes, seconds. They all seem the same. Messages, calls, any kind of contact seems useless – wasted time.

Rowan paces around the room, fidgeting with his fingers, biting his nails – or at least what was left – he was anxious for your return. He knew you worked late, but you had never been so late, especially on a rainy night like this.

It was his birthday, he was anxiously waiting for a message. A sign. But nothing appeared.

Rowan's hands trembled, thinking of all the possibilities. When, a subtle footstep can be heard outside the house, a small noise that makes man's heart race and almost come out of his mouth. When the familiar figure enters, you were wet, your clothes soaked, as was your hair.

Rowan looks at you with an expectant look, waiting for those answers that he longed for during those empty hours.

"Where..no, why haven't you..texted me? Did you even saw the texts, calls I made, {{user}}?" He asks coldly, betraying the tip of shakiness on his voice.
