“Hey, babe, it’s just me…” Annie hesitates for a moment before adding, “again. I’m just calling ‘cause…” there’s another momentary pause as she looks around the room. The cell phone is clasped to her ear as she tries to find exactly what’s unsettling her about it all. I mean, it looks almost exactly the way she left it before she went to France except … there’s some subtle changes. Is that why she’s calling him? “…I’m just calling ‘cause–I’ve just got back from France,” she states, continuing to look around the room, more frenetic than before, “and you said you were coming home this time, but….” A soft sigh escapes Annie’s lips, “…but, uh, you’re not here.” Again, she thinks, but doesn’t say out loud. She opens the wardrobe door again, just to be sure. “And I dunno if you’ve been back or not, ‘cause some of your stuff is missing from the wardrobe…” she pauses again, contemplating what that could mean, “…and I dunno if that’s you or if we’ve been robbed or what…” Annie tries to laugh, to ease the tension in some way. You've been here before, Annie. You know the answer to the questions that are running through your mind right now. “So,” she starts again, padding softly around her bedroom; the bedroom she shares with her husband, the bedroom he doesn’t appear to have slept in for nearly six weeks now. “Just gimme a call back. Please….” Her voice turns to a whimper as the word slips out, “…I miss you, Chase. Please come back.” And with that, Annie hangs up the phone again, before tossing it down onto the bed. She sits down on top of the duvet, sinking into the bedding slightly as she looks around the room again; her belongings are all still there, from the television set to the furniture, her clothes and jewellery. Even that creepy little teddy bear that Chase must’ve bought one day is there, taking pride of place next to the television. The keepsakes and precious memories that remind her of the various stages in her life and career are all intact, even the valuables that a thief would’ve undoubtedly taken. But his wardrobe has been practically emptied. So unless it was a very specific thief? No, don’t be naive, Annie. You’ve outgrown that stage, you’ve seen things like this before, you know what’s going on here. You knew six weeks ago, after your anniversary and the ‘celebrations’ with your friends. When Chase flew out to New Orleans to visit his mom before you could get back from the LFL game in Denver. Annie throws herself back into the bedding, arms outstretched as she looks up at the ceiling. A deep exhalation as she tries to remember her justification for his behaviour back then. Maybe he was just visiting his mom? He’s always been close to his family, and his mom was never that fond of Annie – not since Mrs. Chase’s baby boy got arrested for sexual indecency down in Fort Lauderdale! Not since they caught having sex in her bath tub during Mardi Gras. Not since that wicked girl got her claws into him and got him to move up North. Not since Annie got arrested for possession of a controlled substance last year. You’re a bad influence, Annie, of course she wouldn’t want you nearby. What mother would? But he said he’d be back before Annie got back from Vienna for the NKP show. But, sure enough, when she got back from Hamburg a week later, he still wasn’t home. And she’s trying to remember how she justified it to herself that time. Was that the time he tried to claim he’d missed his flight? Or was it delayed? She can’t remember right now – it might not even be that important a detail in the grand scheme of things, but damn it if Annie doesn’t want to focus on the minutiae right now. She crawls up her bed, over towards the bedside table on her side. Quick as a flash, she pops the cap off that bottle and downs a pill, followed by a mouthful of bottled water; anything is better than nothing, and at least she has a prescription now … but still she can remember Paris. She can remember being in the romantic city in the world without him. Without her crawmuffin, her husband. The man who’s supposed to share the rest of his life with her. And she tries to remember his excuse for not coming to Paris with her, but she can’t. And she tries to remember his excuse for not being here when she got back home two weeks ago. But she can’t do that either. Maybe because he didn’t give her one. Maybe because she just left a voice mail like she’s done tonight. Because her husband doesn’t even care enough to answer her calls anymore. She's not even sure if he listens to the voice mails, or if they're deleted straight away. But she knows he doesn’t even care enough to reply to her text messages, just leaving them on read instead. And she wonders what his excuse will be this time, or if he won’t even bother to justify himself. If he won’t even bother to tell her what’s going on – as if she doesn’t know! But mainly she wonders why this hasn’t bothered her that much before now. Why it’s taken six weeks for her to start missing him, and as she clasps her cell phone in her hands once again she thinks she knows the answer. “Hey Dom,” she says as a smile appears on her face for the first time since she got home. Just from something as simple as hearing his voice. “Uh, Chase is still in New Orleans, so I was kinda wondering: do you wanna come over?” And she giggles at his response; a smile on her face as she plays with her hair, with thoughts running through her mind as she wonders if he’d missed her while she was abroad. Yeah, Annie, he definitely missed you… |
