“I don’t want to discuss anything over the phone,” I explained. “We’re finishing up the meeting here, and I’ll be home soon to fill you in on everything, alright?”
“Okay,” she said softly.
I wanted to apologize for the way I’d stormed out and kept her in the dark about what was going on… again, but now wasn’t the time for that, either.
“I’ll see you soon,” I said.
“Bye,” she replied.
