Alex had to take a late-night phone call at his office. Something came up that needed his immediate attention. They had been trying to reach him, but he had switched his phone off in the cinema, forgetting to turn it back on, not until they had arrived home.
He guessed Dani would be taking a shower by now. He would have joined her if not for the issue he had to deal with at the moment. But he hoped he could resolve it quickly, wanting to follow his wife in a long warm bath.
"Call me again if there is any more problem." He instructed the man on the other line.
His phone call took longer than he wanted. By the time he reached their bedroom, he believed Dani probably would be finished by now. But she was not yet in their room, and the lights from the bathroom were still bright.
