Chapter 040 Had I misheard?

As I juggled work with watching the clock, every tick seemed to tighten the knot in my stomach. Glancing at the time, I realized I was over two hours past my usual time getting home, and yet, Betty hadn't called.

I checked my phone a few more times, couldn't help but chuckle at my own paranoia.

Oh right, didn't I set up that live surveillance system at home? Time to give it a whirl on my computer, haven't even tested it since today's setup.

I tried accessing it through an IP address, but no dice—today's hasty exit made me forget the final step in setting up the live feed. I shut down the computer, glanced at the time, and realized tonight I was as good as blind. Watching the minutes slip by, I started to worry.

Betty's usually a sweetheart, but man, when she gets heated, watch out. And this time, our misunderstanding had really set her off.
