[ WP ] Counting the seconds

This is it, a typical Thursday night. The clock staring at me from across the empty tavern, ticking away and weaving with the low music in the background. I drum my fingers against the wooden surface at the bar and I look down at my legs, sore from standing for hours on end. 
 
 My phone vibrates in my pocket and I pull it out quickly, looking at the time again. Had it really only been 2 minutes since I last checked? I look at the clock on the wall, then back to the phone and exhale. I check who the text is from, and I smile. Even with something as simple as `` How's work?'' I can tell that she cares. 
 
 I send her a quick reply, keeping her in mind as I tuck the phone away, straighten my back and stretch. I can definitely survive the night if I know she'll be there when I get back.
