Arwen didn't think she would be late. But a few things at the company took longer than expected, and she ended up leaving later than planned.
When she arrived back home, she thought she was late and Aiden would be waiting for her. But to her surprise, he wasn't there yet.
She checked the time, and it was already past his usual schedule.
Still, she didn't think much of it. Perhaps something had come up on his end too, just like her. He might be running a bit late.
Not minding it much, she went to get freshened up, and a while later, she stepped into the kitchen to see if she could prepare something for him before he arrived.
She kept herself busy, prepping a few dishes for dinner, setting the table, and making sure everything was just right.
But even after everything was done, there was still no sign of him.
She waited a little longer. When the clock finally ticked past their usual dinner time, she gave in and picked up her phone to call him.
