I spent the next five minutes explaining to her what had happened and how sorry I was. She chuckled "you really waited the whole hour for me to call?" I was embaressed. "yea" I answered in a sheepish voice. Great. Now she is going to think I'm some weirdo. "so what are you doing later?" she asked in a surprisingly upbeat voice. I paused. Was this really happening? She is still talking to me? "um, nothing." I stammered back. "maybe we can get together later? That is if your not busy." I asked. I braced myself for rejection. "sure. That would be great. How about around seven? Is that okay?" It was a good thing I was already sitting. "thats great. Pick you up at the same place?" she said yes and we said goodbye. As she hung up the phone I could hear yelling in the background. It was 5:30. Only an hour and a half until I could help her escape that. Even if only for one night. I picked up the phone and Informed my Job I would not be in tomorrow. Tonight was her night.
