The sun shining through the open curtain of the balcony woke Abi up on Sunday morning. She realized she was still naked and had slept the night soundly on top of the covers. She rolled over and picked up her phone to check the time. It was off. She turned it on and slipped out of bed to the bathroom to pee before coming back and looking at her phone - 9:11 AM. That was really late for her. She must have been really exhausted, She also noticed a series of texts from last evening. Most of them from students, but one from her husband. She looked at it and it was a sweet, simple, gentle message - "Good night. I love you and I miss you!" She sat on the edge of the bed looking at the message. Finally she got up and walked over to the balcony. Her room faced the woods, but she peaked out just to make sure there was no one else there or on any of the other balconies. She was alone. She stepped naked out onto the balcony with her phone and she sat in a chair. It was a beautiful day.<br/><br/>After a few moments she opened her contacts and had the phone dial Xavier. He picked up almost immediately.<br/>"Hi" She spoke in a small voice. She was nervous.<br/>"Um... I didn't wake you up I hope."<br/>"Yeah, I just woke up.... I must have been tired I guess."<br/>"Yesterday....? Ah nothing exciting I spent the afternoon grading papers and then I went to a concert. Yeah, downtown. It was fun. I enjoyed it." She paused as she remembered how intensely arousing the concert had been for her and how the focus of this arousal had been her husband.<br/>"Ummm I..." She took a deep breath, "I was thinking I would come home. Is that ok?"<br/>"No, not right away. I really want to finish these papers. I have to hand them back on Monday, tomorrow. But I have most of them done. So, maybe like 2 or 3... 4 at the latest. Wait, don't you have to be on duty today?"<br/>"Yeah, ok..."<br/>"I'll shoot for around 2:00 or so..."<br/>Pause...<br/>"I... I love you.... I.. I don't want us to get divorced. But...." her voice trailed away... "We can talk later..."<br/>"Ok, yeah... I love you... see you soon..."
