The Fifth Wait
Added 2023-02-05 20:41:26 +0000 UTCI make dinner and then eat it alone on the kitchen bar, staring idly at gray skies through the porch doors. Partner won't be back until after my bedtime, but they can heat up some of the leftovers I packed into washed takeout containers.
We have some time together tomorrow, but I think we're both going to be too burned out to be much company at all. My job may feel dull and cruel at times, but theirs is worse.
I rinse my plate and walk back out to the porch.
