You're Choosing to Leave Me?

Because of the time difference, I booked a flight later in the afternoon to give Henri a chance to get up and feel she’d had enough time to call me. I didn’t want to be on a plane when she tried to call since I was four hours ahead of her. But my bags were packed and ticket was bought. Regardless of what she said to me on that phone, I was leaving today and wasn’t coming home without her. Even if it meant putting my job and business on hold for days if for whatever reason she wasn’t released from the hospital or she refused to come back right away.

I’d gone into the office to let everyone know that I was leaving half day. Bea could close up since she was still coming in every now and again and today was one of those days. Everyone would have a full day today, but I let them know the rest of the week was up in the air and I’d send them notice as soon as I knew something.
