Clara: You said seven. I kept the pasta warm for an hour. Then I put it away. You couldn't send one text?

Adrian: The client called just as I was leaving. I thought it'd take ten minutes. It kept going.

Clara: I called you twice. I started wondering if you'd had an accident. Then I saw you were online.

Adrian: On my laptop. I wasn't ignoring you. I was trying to get out of there.

Clara: I know you work hard. But we've barely talked all week. I was looking forward to sitting down with you.

Adrian: So was I. But I walk in exhausted, and you're already angry with me.

Clara: I was worried first. Then I felt stupid for waiting. I miss you, Adrian. Even when you're home, there's always one more thing to finish.

Adrian: I keep thinking if I get through this week, I'll have more time. Then there's another week. I guess I keep asking you to wait.

Clara: You didn't have to fix the whole week tonight. 'I'm stuck. Don't wait for dinner.' I would've understood that.

Adrian: Yeah. I could've sent that. I'm sorry I left you guessing. Next time I'll tell you as soon as plans change.

Clara: I could've told you I was scared instead of coming at you like that. I'm still upset, though.

Adrian: I know. Can I sit with you a minute? The pasta can wait.
