After hanging up, Carlos descended the stairs, got into his car and drove towards
the restaurant. Something didn't feel right; something bugged him. There was a
tickling in the back of his brain.
When Debbie came back to their private booth, Kasie had just hung up on
Carlos.
“Hey Tomboy, your husband just called. Why not call him back?”
She held out Debbie’s phone. Debbie took it and unlocked the screen.
“Carlos called?’ She checked the time on her phone. “It's only 7 p.m.
Why's he off so early?”
She sat back in her seat, chatting with her friends, but her thoughts were far
away. She kept wondering what Carlos had called her for. She thought about it
for a half hour, and finally it bothered her enough.
She called Carlos. He answered it quite quickly; it had barely rung once on her
end.
“Hey, old man,” she said.
“Hmm, “* he answered shortly, his voice devoid of emotion.
Both of them were silent for a while; they were both frustrated as they had to part
with each other soon. Sadness was palpable.
Knowing he was a man of few words, Debbie decided to break the silence.
“I'm eating outside. What's up?”
“You see the documents?” Curtis had come to his office this afternoon.
He told him Debbie was in a bad mood and asked him to pay more attention to
her. Carlos was busy, but nothing was more important than his wife. Originally, he
had three dinner appointments this evening, but he cancelled two of them and
drove back home as soon as possible.
“Yeah,” Debbie answered in a low voice. She feigned calm and added,
“Is that why you called?”
“Nope. Have fun with your friends. I'll pick you up when you're done.”
“No. That's cool. I'll take a cab home,” she said. Kasie had come to the manor to
pick her up this afternoon.
They had been drinking this evening, so Kasie couldn't get her back home.
Debbie planned to grab a taxi Later.
