I Didn't Have Time To Respond. Could You Do It Again?

Shouko was baffled. Her chopsticks suspended in the air, the rolled omelet almost slipped out from their grasp. She blinked twice, looking at her husband.

"You would go on a business trip?" She asked softly.

Kyoya nodded with tiny guilt in his eyes, "It's too sudden. I need to go to City Z for three days."

"When would you go?" Shouko lowered the chopsticks to the bowl, she was slightly surprised to hear the news, "When would you be back?"

"I'd take the earliest flight tomorrow morning and return on Thursday evening," He said in a sullen voice. 

Shouko chuckled looking at his aggrieved expression, "Why must you look like you're forced to go there? It's just a three-day trip, right? You'd return home by no time."
