The couple notices the time says<strong>8:45 AM</strong>, which if traffic is good, he'll be barely able to get to work on time if he hurries to get ready, and doesn't drive his pretty wife to work first. That leaves Elizabeth in a predicament, as depending on the sub-train schedule, she'll be late regardless, but she might manage.(It's assumed that if you hurry you can get ready in less than fifteen minutes.)Jason can see that he has a voice mail on his phone, which probably meant that it went off while Elizabeth was moaning in his ear, and upon picking it up he notices that his partner called him just a few minutes ago.
