YOU WAITED
I can get all emotional just from the sound of his voice.
How did he know? I want to ask."Okay, well I can't wait to see you too, I love you." I say.
" I love you too baby, it'll be all over soon. I promise." He tries reassure me, making me smile despite the situation I'm in.
I place the telephone back in its place, turning to face the guy. Before either one of us can speak, a sound comes from inside the house, snapping us to attention.
It must be Joe. Thank the Lord.
