[ Clyteus is pacing in front of the building in Manhattan, and checks his watch again. 6:03pm. He sighs and now starts to worry; she’s not late. Ever. She beats him every time- in more than one way. Pulling out his phone, he opens an article from BBC and starts scrolling- but he’s always been bad at standing still when he’s expecting something. And the person peddling bags across the street is starting to weird him out, too. ]
6:06… [ The line trills in his ear when he pulls out his cell with a sigh. She never responded (typical- wasn’t worried) to his text to let her know he was on the way. She also left the “I’m outside” at 5:58pm on read. Still wasn’t worried. She may have her hair dryer on. And of course, that is said as a phrase not as accurate reporting- since she didn’t have read receipts turned on. Who did when you used your phone for business?
