WORRIES

"Is mom going home late tonight, dad?" Amelia asks while looking at the door of their room.

"Maybe a bit late. But don't worry princess, mom will come home before you went to bed."

I was also concerned about Ellie. She did not send me a message that she will be home late. Normally, she will send me and the kids a message that she will be late and that we don't need to wait for her. Though, there were also days that she was a bit late so she didn't bother to send us a message. But now is a bit different, she was 3 hours late from her usual schedule. She was supposed to be here at 6 pm.

I decided to give her a call. After three rings, Ellie answers my call.

"Ellie, where are you?" I ask.

"I'm almost home. Sorry, I forgot to send you a message. Did you guys already have your dinner?" She asked.
