For the rest of his walk to his car, and the drive home he was in a daze with images of Serena and the thoughts of how the day went, running through his head. When he walked through his front door he was greeted with a scowl look on a woman with bright red hair and emerald eyes, which snapped him out of his trance.
"Where were you!" screamed his fiancé. "I have been calling you all day. We were supposed to meet the wedding planner today, but I had to go by myself because you were, God knows where. Good thing Jake was available so I wouldn't have to be embarrassed. She thinks Jake is going to be my husband so I don't want you coming with me and embarrassing me. I hope you're happy!"
Darien wasn't listening at all. He could care less about the wedding planner. The only thing on his mind was Serena and now he was able to see her again.
"Are you even listening to me?" she squawked. "Where were you?"
"I was busy with work, I'm sorry I forgot," he threw his stuff down on the couch, not bothering to look at her.
"I called you over there, but they said you left early."
"I had to go over some documents and I needed to get out so I could concentrate," he responded quickly as if he had this planned.
Her face was still scornful, but she lowered her voice. "Fine, that doesn't explain why you wouldn't answer my calls-."
He stopped her before she could go on another rant. "Why don't you tell me what you did today then?"
She immediately perked up and started rushing out details about what happened with the wedding planner. Darien didn't hear a word of it, but just longed for the next day to come so he could see Serena once more.
