280 With Nothing At All

Thea looked at the clock on the wall and let out a long sigh.

It was already late in the evening, and Jeru was still not home. "This is frustrating," Thea complained.

Following Jeru's grandmother's visit to their place a while ago, she rarely saw her husband. Just like last night, he often returned home past midnight, when she was already deep in her slumber and left for work again before she woke up in the morning. 

Sometimes he even had to sleep in his office. And the worst was last week when he had to go on a business trip overseas for a few days all of a sudden. He could only inform his wife about the trip when he was already on his way to the airport to catch his flight. 

But Thea was grateful that Jeru would always report about his whereabouts to her, even without her asking.
