Covet{Half Way Into Eternity}🥀
When Gabriel got home, Victoria was not there so he decided that he would just wait for her to get home instead of bombarding her with his excitement over the phone.
Two hours later worry started rushing through Gabriel that something may have happened to his wife. He called her phone, but instead got her voicemail, which had never happened before.
It then dawned on him that Victoria would normally be home by this time if she had to go out.
He had never been home at 6pm and not seen his wife at home.
Which immediately started him panicking.
Countless calls later to family, friends, hospitals, police stations and to his wife's phone had him no closer to her whereabouts after two more hours had passed.
Gary had asked if he needed him to come over, but he had declined saying he was sure she would turn up soon and that he was just checking to eliminate all other possibilities.
Five hours later at 8pm when Gabriel was finally at his wits end, he heard the door being opened and turned to look at his wife in relief and shock.
"Victoria," he said finally, but it came out groggily. Concern and worry evident in this voice.
Not forgetting the fact that she may want to surprise him with the news is the only reason why he held off.
"Oh hi Gabriel, sorry for being late I got held up at the store and then with traffic," she stated calmly, not looking at her husband.
Gabriel came over and took the bags from her, heading into the kitchen, not sure what to make of the situation or her statement.
Turning towards her approaching figure he asked, "What happened to your phone. I've been trying to call you for the past five hours and only managed in getting your voicemail. Did you turn it off?" He asked with a small smile on his face, in an attempt to keep the slight frustration that he was suddenly feeling out of his voice.
"Why would I turn off my phone Gabriel? Obviously the thing died!" she scoffs, apparently upset at her husband's question.
Shocked at her sudden outburst, he quickly states, "I'm sorry, I..." He started, but Victoria only stepped passed him to the fridge.
Taking out an orange juice, she slammed the door and headed up the stairs, leaving Gabriel surprised at her actions.
After...
