No excuses to give

I sat on the Window couch in the library, staring out of the large window at the evening cold sky. My laptop open on the other edge.
I looked at my phone. The one contact I've been wanting to call on the screen
'Veronica Xander.'
My father's girlfriend. Well a secret lover to be exact.
I pressed the call button.
The phone rang and she picked up after a while.
"Hello? Arius?"
"Veronica..."
"Yes?"
"Are you free?"
"Now?"
"At anytime. I just need a few minutes."
"You can come over at anytime. I'll be home."
"Okay..."
After hanging up I slumped against the frame, looking out at the darkening sky. It seemed like it would snow soon.
I heard the library door open and then footsteps coming towards me.
I knew who it was so I didn't move from my place.
As the person came and stood near me I asked.
"You said she was getting better. So Why?" I asked him.
